Actually, no.

*I* wrote this release note, so I think I know what I'm talking about ;-)

The Win-Test WinKey options (Options / WinKey configuration) are sent
thru the WK virtual (or real) serial port. And the microHam router
intercepts them.

Jozef OM7ZZ confirmed me this behaviour by email before leaving to Dayton :

> Router 5.x has "Winkey mastering" as we are calling it. In practice it means that the all settings which are shown on Router Winkey tab are exclusivelly controlled by Router WK Mastering. Commands from logger are online "patched" to meet Router settings, but without harmfull behaviour for the logger. Logger don't know that the settings are changed, because WK Mastering in Router also "patching" WK responses to the logger.

*Maybe* you can change these settings by the MK2R protocol itself (I
don't know, and I don't have to the possibility to check), but I doubt
it will work.
