[WT-support] WT with Winkey

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Sending with the paddles on the WinKey interrupts whatever message is being
sent.  I think the Winkey also waits for the "PTT tail" time to expire
before it will accept any new messages from Win-Test.

Set "PTT tail" to the minimum value using the WinKey utility.  Does that
help?

You should also try pressing the Escape key in Win-Test, even if nothing is
being sent.

FYI, there really is no requirement whatsoever to use a Winkey with
Win-Test.  Just use the Win-Test internal keyer, which provides well-timed
ON/OFF keying via a COM port pin or LPT port pin.  If you have an Elecraft
K3, no keying circuit is required.

Then use the internal keyer of the radio for all paddle sending.

73,
Bob, N6TV
