[WT-support] KEYING DELAY

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Was it a consistent delay, or variable?  How long was the delay?  What was
the PTT Lead time set to in the WinKey (WKSETUP) dialog?  Were you using
WinKey PTT or any other type of PTT port?  Was the "PA PTT" box checked and
was "PA PTT lead" set to some value other than 0 in the PTT tab?  You
really need to send me a screen shot of every Win-Test dialog and every
Router tab on the problem computer before I can do much more.

There at at least 3 different places where PTT lead time can be set in
Win-Test and the Router.

If it works for a while, then the delay shows up, sometimes I've had to
type SETUP [Enter] [Enter] in Win-Test to reopen all COM ports, including
the WinKey.  Did you try that?

Any leading blanks in CW messages programmed by mistake?

73,
Bob, N6TV
