  • "Bug" ist der Oberbegriff für alle von Vibroplex gefertigten halbautomatischen Morsetasten. Der Name ist historisch bedingt und leitet sich jetzt von dem im Logo gezeigten Käfer (engl.: Bug) ab. Diese seit 1907 bis heute (2017) produzierten Tasten sind in vielen verschiedenen Versionen auf den Markt gekommen und haben alle einen Eigennamen.

    "Bug" is the general term for all the semi-automatic keys made by Vibroplex. "Bug" is a traditional name taken from the bug (insect) displayed in the logo. "Bug" as a name for a certain model is not sufficient! These keys were produced since 1907 and they are still in production (2017). Numerous variants were made. They all have an individual name.
