Win-Test will override those min/max settings at start-up.

The settings used by WT are 20/60 wpm.  Setting any other speed pot.
min/max values with the WinKey software usually causes unpredictable,
unwanted CW speed jumps when using Win-Test.

If you have an Elecraft K3, you can easily use the internal keyer of the
radio, and use COM port on/off keying, from Win-Test, any speed you like.
 The K3scripts (download from http://bit.ly/wtscripts) keep the radio's
keyer speed in sync with Win-Test (if you only use Win-Test to change
speeds).

There is no way to do the same with Icom radios, unfortunately.
