Actually, while the CW thread fires the Lua script, "its" message is 
ending, and the CW speed is already restored to the same value when it 
started.

Thus, you have to set the CW speed by yourself in the script (with +/- 
speed bursts - balancing is not mandatory), or with wtKeyer:SetCwSpeed 
instructions.

Example :

F7 = PSE- QSY #FREQS

freqs.wts

wtKeyer:Play("---" .. wtRadioSecondary:GetFreq() .. " +++ R?");

If the speed is set at 30 WPM when hitting F7, PSE will be keyed at 30 
WPM, QSY at 26 (= 30 - 4), the radioFreq at 18 (30 - (3 x 4)) and "R?" 
at 30.

No. The GetFreq function gets the freq as a number. If you want to 
manipulate this number you have to DIY with the Lua language. This is a 
part of the "homework".
