[WT-support] CW Speed jump with WinKey

[Rudolf Schwenger]

Hi, John,

it's not a new problem. The first time I mentioned it towards the WT-development team must have been some two years ago. In V 3.18 it has become much worse than in previous versions. In my case it's almost unbearable. I have sent the development team twice a note of Joe Subich, W4TV, suggesting remidies how to overcome the problem. However, most likely the solution is so difficult to implement that a cure has not been found so far. 

That is indeed very disappointing especially so since WT is in all otherwise relevant aspects an extremely trustworthy, forgiving and reliable piece of contesting software. 

I won't give up hope that someday the WT-developers will be in a position to cope with the problem. If so, I'll be the first one to send them a good bottle of Bordeaux in appreciation of their success....

  Hi everyone

  I used Win-Test v3.18 with WinKey in yesterday's RSGB 80m AFS contest and had a repeat of the problem reported in late November (after CQWW) with Win-Test and WinKey CW speed. 

  I had "Independent Speed between pot and computer" UN-checked. Whenever I used Alt-V or the pot to set the speed, the speed settled down for a while but then jumped up to a different, faster speed. In this case, pressing Alt-V showed the original speed (the speed I wanted) - simply re-entering the required speed brought it back to where I wanted it - for a while. Then it jumped to a different speed again.

  This problem was also reported to me yesterday by G3SXW and G3WVG using a similar configuration.

  I suspect that this has also been reported in these postings:

  I see no entry for this annoying bug on Flyspray but hopefully it can be resolved for the next release? 

  Thanks
