Every several seconds you experience a scrambled dot and it sounds like
dirty or misadjusted contacts.

Interesting stuff, Briyce! I have been using my Blue Racer on the K3 and
have heard the occasional erratic dot. I thought it might be dirty
contacts
(it's an old bug).
What were you hearing that made you come up with the fix? The odd dot
that
I hear is not repeatable and not regular.
Aloha and 73,

To get rid of the "dot" contact bounce, erratic sounding dots, that I
experienced I put a .22 microfarad across the keyline on K3 side of
keyline and a 10K resistor in series with the key line on the bug side of
the keyline. On a 2nd receiver my two bugs now sound like a electronic
keyer.
If you use a bug on the K2 you can try a 3300 ohm.
