K3/K3s keying with bugs, ponderings

[Roy Koeppe]

Relating to contact bounce, I wonder what the typical length of a bounce
is? We hear QRQ stations operating at 60+ wpm all the time. If Elecraft
designed to smooth out such short "dots" from semi-auto key bounce, then
perhaps a K4 would not allow 70+ wpm speeds to be sent either?

Hi Roy,

A question best answered with a measurement. Appended to:
https://www.kn5l.net/debounce555/

is waveform for a Bug running just under 40WPM. One small weight at
fastest setting.
