[WT-support] Version 3.8.0 release

[EA4TX - Pablo]

Chris,

Yes, you are right, there is a bug that sure Olivier will fix soon!

Independent speed between pot and computer is a feature, something that
depends on Ham's fancy. In my case, it's useless because I prefer to use the
same speed for the computer (WT) than manually (POT of my microHAM micro
keyer)...

Most times, I select the speed by means of WT, adding some points pressing
alt-F9 (down) or alt-F10 (up). If you are working i.e. 28wpm, it's not
normal to change suddenly to 40wpm or 16wpm. Most cases, you will want small
variations as 2 or 4wpm up or down.... As your fingers are on the keyboard,
it's easier to press alt-F9 or alt-F10. In my preferences, it's not used
change the micro Keyer pot.... but, as I wrote above, it's my personal
opinion....

The point about the speed range, you are right.... it should be possible to
be configured in some aditional menu, but this is not so problematic...
another personal oponion .... as I wrote, I prefer to use alt-F9/F10 since I
make small speed varitions, and in my case all time the fingers and on the
keyboard....

Regards, Pablo - EA4TX
