[WT-support] CW keying

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Are you listening to CW keying in the FT2000 monitor or the PC speaker?

Type NOSOUND [Enter] in the Logging window.  Sidetone monitoring via PC
speaker (which often doesn't work at all on newer PCs) can affect CW timing
on the keying circuit.

If that doesn't help, try WEIGHT [Enter] in the logging window, and adjust
the value up or down to see if that makes it sound better.

Finally since you are using Serial port keying via COM1, make sure CW
keying via any other port such as COM2 or LPT or WinKey is disabled.

73,
