Maybe the problem is at higher speeds than 12 WPM. Could You try 26-30 WPM?

Of Course that's possible - I don't blame win-test for it.
But it seems to me that win-test just would not look for more
letters after starting the cw output. (just an observation by
me as a user). Of Course it could be a specific problem with
the w5xd-box, but it is working fine, so why change :)

I've read that before. And it is a great pity :(
