[WT-support] Minimum WinKey CW speed

Hi Bob,

Sorry, hadn't spotted your reply when I made my previous post.

It's an IC-7000.

Something I didn't see how I can do - though I could be missing it - is 
to connect what is effectively a "straight key" from the COM port 
keying, and an iambic paddle at the same time?

I did some brief experiments to try and do this on the basis I could 
then have run the WK at 20wpm and used the rig's internal keyer at 15wpm 
for sending slower when required, but couldn't see an easy solution.

I suppose you could use the WinKey in standalone mode as a keyer for the 
paddle, and then parallel the output of that with the COM port keyer. 
You'd not get the niceties like stopping computer-generated output when 
you touched the paddle, but that may not be too much of an issue.
