I'm a fan of GHD bugs (currently using a dual lever GN107WS), and
recently noticed that they offer an electronic keyer with what they
call "E-Bug" mode. I wasn't sure what to make of it but the ablility
to record even straight key messages seemed interesting.
I must confess that I don't mind hearing a wee bit of swing in a
signal myself, but do strive to send as correctly as I can.
