I'm sorry but I don't well understand what is the problem with the band 
and the frequency. Are you radio controlled by WT? Is there a bug 
somewhere with the radio control? Please tell me more Tadej.

About the US keyboard: I think I know what is the problem! With WinXP, 
you can change from local to US keyboard clicking on a small icon in the 
task bar. *But* the ALT (left) + SHIFT keys do the same by default! So 
each time you press ALT+SHIFT, you switch between S5 and W keyboard. 
Could you please confirm this? This behaviour can be disabled : 
right-click + properties on this Icom.

"All the time" is not really possible, but you can prepare a so long 
message it will do the same.

Look at the "Check band" scenario, it does somethink like that after a CQ:

$RESET $R2R2 $F1 $R1R2 $TR2 $MSG1

You can create a special scenario for this behaviour, and add "$TR2 
$MSG1" after each message. $MSG1 is the additional number one (see 
"Options | CW | Modify additionnal messages").

You're right, this is not supported by WT. But F5SWB reported to us that 
CWTtype (http://www.dxsoft.com/m1/cwtype.zip) can be used jointly with 
Win-Test. I didn't tried but I guess that CWtype can handle the paddle 
input from the wx0b interface.

Hope this helps,

PS : I cc to the mailing, as this message can be of interest for other
