I have found that each time I send CQ contest, the speed gets slower and slower and slower until I hit the Escape key.

Of course, I could have mistakenly set some parameter wrong.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Dale - N3BNA</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 19px; font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif;

<div id="yiv1418095425">If you tap the paddle while the WinKey is sending, or <i>just after</i> 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).<div>
<br></div><div>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.</div>
