I've done some investigations. Through the EZMaster, Win-Test just 
replace the ^ character by a space... This is why you cannot see any 
difference.

And when the WinKey is connected directly (or via a microKeyer), sending 
the | character gets the communication freezed with WinKey! :)

Two bugs in one! Good points Marko.

BTW, I'm in touch with K1EL regarding the problem, because the | 
character seems to work differently than the other ones. Stay tuned!
