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...)  .

Here is a question for both the WT and Microham support  reflectors:
 
I find that occasionally the speed will jump up many wpm when I  send a "TU 
K5KG" message from the "+" key.  I will be running and  running, and 
sending TU K5KG with the + key QSO after QSO.  Then, every  now and then, when I 
send TU K5KG from the + key, the speed will jump up to  lightning fast (maybe 
50 wpm).  I'd appreciate any ideas as to why this  happens, and what to do 
to prevent it.
 
Here is my current set up:  Microham CW Keyer, WinTest 4.6,  K3.  Although, 
this is my current set up, the speed jump up also  happened with WT 3.n and 
an Icom Pro3.  Bottom line, it has been  happening for several years.  The 
common elements seem to be WT and the  CW Keyer.
