[WT-support] Minimum WinKey CW speed

[Robert Chipperfield]

Hi all,

I'm just testing a K1EL WinKey USB with Win-Test (v4.9.1), and hitting a 
slightly problem (or maybe limitation?) in setting the CW speed below 20wpm.

 From a clean power-on without WT running, the minimum speed on the WK 
is about 5wpm, but after starting WT, it increases to 20wpm - I 
understand that this is a result of WT setting the minimum speed to 
20wpm, and a range of 40wpm.

I've currently got WT configured for synchronised speeds, set only by WT 
commands. I can use Alt-F9 to reduce the speed indicated on the rate 
window to 12wpm, but below 20wpm has no effect on the actual sending 
speed - it remains at 20wpm.

Is there a way of reducing the minimum speed sent to the WK as part of 
its initialisation, or omitting this configuration string entirely such 
that the WK default minimum of 5wpm is used?

(I'm still at the early stages of learning CW - I look forward to being 
able to reliably receive at 20wpm, but I've not got there yet, so going 
for 15wpm or so would be very useful!)

Many thanks & best 73,
