[WT-support] CW sending problem

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

If you tap the paddle while the WinKey is sending, or *just after* it has
finished sending, this puts the WinKey in "halt mode" (all messages
discarded, no more computer messages accepted), until you touch the paddle
again.  It may help to set PTT lead and TAIL to 0 ms in the WKSETUP dialog
(type WKSETUP [Enter] in Win-Test logging window).

One reason I prefer to use WinTest COM port or LPT port keying, with a
separate paddle connected to the internal keyer of the radio, is to avoid
these WinKey quirks.  With some radios you can control the internal keyer
speed via a LUA script so that it can stay in sync with the Win-Test keyer
speed (or sends 2 WPM slower, you preference).  See
http://bit.ly/wtscripts(K3scripts.zip).  I'm also trying to get this
to work with newer Icom
radios.

What type of rig are you using?
