------------------------------- There's no need to learn iambic keying to use the KX1 paddle. It works just like a standard keyer too which is just like a bug except that it makes dashes automatically. So if you've ever used a bug, you can key the KX1 just fine with it with only a little extra care to avoid being ambushed by the "dash logic". The thing I've pined for these past five years is a "bug mode" in the Elecraft keyers because I hate it when the logic tries to make my dashes for me. Whenever I bring it up there's those who immediately pipe up saying "but it won't FEEL like a bug!" Of COURSE it won't feel like a bug, whatever that is. Every bug I've ever touched feels different anyway. But it'd at least ACT like a bug without having to lug the real thing into the field.
