I would like to see a squeeze option that would give a steady tone when the
paddle contacts are both closed. This would restore keying control to the

Now we're almost back to something I asked for several years ago; A "bug
emulator" mode in which the dit side makes dits and the dah side simply keys
the tx like any self-respecting "bug". Push the dah paddle and you get a dah
until you let go!
I know, it can be done with diodes on the K2. Tie two diodes to the key
inputs that connect to the dash contacts. I do it even more accurately with
the K2. I plug my bug into it!
But the KX1 is just a little clumsy with a key bigger than it is hooked on -
and not nearly as portable. So it'd be nice for those of us who like bugs if
the KX1's paddles could behave like one.
