[WT-support] Speed jumps up occasionally

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

See this post <http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2008-May/075776.html>for
some history about this issue.

Bottom line, Win-Test assumes a speed pot range of 20 WPM to 60 WPM.  If you
use any other ranges, the speeds can get out of sync.  When you change speed
with Win-Test, the POT does *not* move to track the new speed, so its
position is immediately out of sync.  Slightly touching it or some other
vibration might cause a resync to pot speed, and a speed jump.

All WinKey / Win-Test speed jump issues go away if you forget about touching
the speed knob and only use Win-Test to change speeds, that is, use "the
only by the Win-Test commands" option in Options | Winkey
configuration<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Options#WinKey_configuration...>
 .
