[WT-support] CW Speed variations

[José Nunes CT1BOH]

Tom

I don't have MK2R's, I have EZmaster.
Having say that, I do not use EZmaster internal CW generator (Win-key).
I do not enable EZmaster WinKey and instead I use Win-Test CW generator.
I never had any problem whatsoever.

Why don't you use Win-test to generate CW? Can't you disable WinKey and
still use MK2R?
