It works for me Simon and I think we have the same MK (mine is updated 
with the last firmware) don't it's very strange!... BTW, I discovered 
that a + increases the speed by 4 WPM with the internal keyer, and by 2 
only through WinKey. So, you must put twice number of + and - to get the 
same result with WinKey than with the integrated keyer ($MYCALL 
++++++++TEST--------) !;) Don't know if that can be of any interest...
