[WT-support] microHAM keyer speed changes with Win-Test

[Rudolf Schwenger]

Dick,

it's a well known problem. I have been experiencing the very same thing for years but I can't identify a set of parameters to reproduce the problem. In my case it happens maybe three times an hour - i.e. sort of every 40th or 50th QSO -  and indeed it is very annoying. However, the situation has much improved over the years. Some two or three years ago it was indeed an impossible situation. Now it is just annoying.

Apparently the problem is not just a WT problem and neither just a MK/K1EL-problem. It is somehow related to the interaction of the various software components and that seems to be the reason, why the problem has not yet been resolved. My assumption is that the more CW-contesters use WT *and* MK the more complaints and the more pressure on both or all three parties involved to come together and to find a solution.....

So, let's be patient and hopeful....

  I used Win-Test in the NAQP yesterday. I have a microHAM keyer which includes a WinKey.

   

  I noticed several times (enough to be annoying) that the keying speed would take wild excursions, sometimes faster, sometimes slower.  I was able to reach over to the speed pot on the microKEYER to correct the speed, but it sure sounded strange.

   

  I haven't noticed this with other logging programs with the same hardware.

   

  Win-Test was downloaded yesterday to version 3.14. I was sending at about 30 WPM normally.

   

  Did others with this hardware notice this bug?
