Hi Hamad,<div><br></div><div>Did you adjust the PTT Lead and Tail settings for the Winkey inside the Router software (not Win-Test), as suggested by W4TV?<br><div><br></div><div>Are you using the Winkey default settings 1200,N,8,2 DTR=Handshake, RTS=Handshake? Try setting DTR and RTS to NONE in the Win-Test SETUP menu. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If it still doesn't work, try installing the new microHAM Router v8.3.1 and microKEYER II firmware version 5.2 which was just released 2 days ago. It has updates for the Eltima (virtual COM port) code.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Download from:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d29_downloads.html">http://www.microham.com/contents/en-us/d29_downloads.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>If that doesn't help either, you may have to give up trying to use the Winkey with Win-Test and instead build or buy a legacy COM port keying circuit. </div>
<div><br></div><div>You can plug your paddles directly into the radio to use the Internal keyer of the FT-2000D. The FT-2000D uses the same software commands for keyer control as the Elecraft K3, so you can use the PageUp, PageDown, and AltV keyer control scripts from K3scripts.zip (see <a href="http://bit.ly/wtscripts">http://bit.ly/wtscripts</a>) to sync the FT-2000D's internal keyer speed with the Win-Test COM port keying speed. It's all described in the documentation inside that Zip file. If you try it and it works, please let me know and I will add them to FT2000scripts.zip</div>

Hamad,<br>
<br>
Make lead/tail changes (and WinKey settings except speed) in microHAM<br>
Router. Router "masters" those values to prevent random changes when<br>
the application unexpectedly closes and reopens WinKey.<br>

If you tap the paddle while the WinKey is sending, or *just after* it has<div><div><br>
finished sending, this puts the WinKey in "halt mode" (all messages<br>
discarded, no more computer messages accepted), until you touch the paddle<br>
again. It may help to set PTT lead and TAIL to 0 ms in the WKSETUP dialog<br>
(type WKSETUP [Enter] in Win-Test logging window).<br>
<br>
One reason I prefer to use WinTest COM port or LPT port keying, with a<br>
separate paddle connected to the internal keyer of the radio, is to avoid<br>
these WinKey quirks. With some radios you can control the internal keyer<br>
speed via a LUA script so that it can stay in sync with the Win-Test keyer<br>
speed (or sends 2 WPM slower, you preference). See<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/wtscripts" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/wtscripts</a> (K3scripts.zip). I'm also trying to get this to<br>
work with newer Icom radios.<br>
<br>
What type of rig are you using?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have just installed a new PC in my contest station (win7 64 Bit)<br>
and all went fine except that for unknown reason some time it is stop<br>
sending CW and I have to press Esc or send a dit from the Paddle then it<br>
will go back to normal. Still i'm not able to find exactly what causing the<br>
problem. Any one had the same problem?<br>
<br>
I'm using Microham Microkeyer II with the latest firmware and router.<br>
