I've never tried this sort of thing, although some other keyers have an
explictly selectable 'bug mode'. However, I doubt that it would sound
like a real mechanical bug properly used. I think the rhythm that is so
pleasing in good bug sending comes from the interaction of the sender's
fingers with the massive lever swinging back and forth over a large
distance and against strong spring tension (all of the above relative to
a keyer paddle, of course). Bug sending is more than just manually made
dashes.
