[WT-support] Fw: Very bad CW transmission in WT 4.11 with WinKey

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

In the WinKey Configuration menu (text command shortcut:  WKSETUP [Enter]),
change PTT LEAD and TAIL to 0 ms.  I think the default is 50 ms, which can
make the WinKey keying sound bad.

If you installed WT 4.11 on a new computer or wiped out your WT.INI file,
the deafult of 50 ms would be used.

Also, what type of transceiver are you using?  Elecraft K3 needs special
handling.

73,
Bob, N6TV
