Hi all,

just opened Task #234: Varying speed of CW Messages with WK/MKII

Keyer-Speed changes automatically to "initial speed".

Procedure to produce the problem.

1. WKSETUP -> Synchronized speed/Controlled only by WT
2. Close WT
3. Open a Log -> WT sets the CW speed to the speed configured in the 
Log. I will call this "initial speed"
4. Press F1 -> CQ-Message will be send correctly with the "initial 
speed"
5. Press Alt-V and change the CW speed. I will call this "new speed"
6. Press F1 -> CQ-Message will be send correctly with the new speed, 
AFTER the CQ-Message has been sent, the CW speed jumps back to the 
"initial speed". All following messages (and paddle input) will be 
sent with the initial speed.

Hint:
Even though WinKey sends with the initial speed, WT displays the new 
speed in his rate window. The speed change of the "+" and "-" 
commands for the stored messages is based on the new speed and not on 
the initial speed.

Hint2:
Interrupting a stored message by pressing ESC correctly sets WinKey 
to the new speed (initial speed = new speed). If you now again try to 
change the speed, the procedure starts again at point 6.
