<DIV>Bob,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for your advices but some are not easy to follow - like
avoiding +++ and - - - when everybody else is using them.</DIV>
<DIV>Also when using LPT port as a keying interface how to key two
different radios while in SO2R mode? MK2R manual specifies only pin 16 as a
keying line.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance,</DIV>

<DIV>This will not happen if your K3's amp keying line is properly wired to
your amp. The K3 closes that line (by default) 8 ms before any RF is
output.</DIV>

<DIV>Also when I do test pattern - something like VVVVV- I
still getting speed jumps once in a couple of dozens or so. And as
before when I switch to N1MM keying becomes smooth and flawless. I just
don't know.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>I assume you are only using the Winkey for CW keying, and don't have any
COM port or LPT port pins defined for CW keying. Actually LPT keying in
Win-Test through the MK2R+ works smoother, in my opinion, than the Winkey.
But then touching the paddles will not interrupt your CW (doesn't bother
me, I just press Escape).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Win-Test communicates with the Winkey one character at a time. N1MM
Software does it a different way. Speed jumps when using Win-Test with
the Winkey have been a long term problem, especially if you do not choose the
"Independent speed" option, and especially if you speed up and speed down with
+++ and --- within your CW messages. So, avoid "+++" in all CW messages,
select the "Independent speed" rather than the Synchronized speed option in
WKSETUP, and the speed jumps should go away.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hint: if you want your station to be spotted by CW Skimmer more
easily, do NOT use ANY speed jumps in your CW messages. These speed
changes make it much harder for CW Skimmer to lock on to your CW speed and
decode your signal.</DIV>
