Does RTS/DTR toggle when you press [*], or [*] and [F4]?  By design,
headphone switching can be separate from transmitter switching.

It is handled by the WinKey chip.  For the WinKey 2, Pin 9 is PTT1, Pin 3 is
PTT2.  Note that PTT delay may not work if you try to use the Win-Test
WKSETUP menu, which was designed to support the original WinKey chip, not
the WinKey2.  You have to use dedicated WinKey set-up software (e.g.
microHAM Router program) to configure the WinKey2 PTT seettings.

The WinKey "Admin" command:

<00><01>

will reset everything in the WinKey2 and probably clear Farnsworth mode.

Better yet, if you can send the Farnsworth command

<0D><0A>

to the WinKey, the will disable Farnsworth mode for 10 WPM or more.  This
happens to the CR-LF sequence.  So if you create a 2-byte file with these
characters in it (Use Notepad to create a new file if the attachment fails
to come through, Press Enter once to move the cursor down one line, File
Save) and write that file to the WinKeyer COM port, that may reset
Farnsworth mode.

   1. Exit Win-Test
   From a DOS command prompt:
   2. MODE COMx: 1200,8,n,2
   3. COPY /b TheTwoByteFile.txt COMx:

Where "x" is your WinKey port, e.g. COM5:  .

Don't forget the trailing colon (:).  Please report results; I haven't
confirmed that this works.
