Re: [WT-support] CW transmission problem<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Matthias is correct. That's the best solution for the speed
jump problem, if you must use a WinKey (which is not really required at all).
More specifically:
<DIV>
<OL>
<LI>In the Win-Test logging Window, type <B>WKSETUP</B> [Enter]
<LI>Set <B>CW Message and Paddle Speeds</B> to <B>Synchronized</B>
<LI>Set <B>Speed Setting</B> to <B>Only by the Win-Test Commands
(Alt-V/F9/F10)</B>
<LI>Press <B>OK</B>
<LI>Type <B>MSGS</B> [Enter] and remove <I>all</I> the ++ and -- symbols
(speed changes) from every message. You will now be more easily spotted
by CW Skimmers too!
<LI>Press <B>OK</B></LI></OL>
<DIV>This will eliminate all CW speed jump issues. The speed knob on the
keyer will be ignored.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Optional but recommended: remap <B>PageUp</B> and <B>PageDown</B> to
do your CW speed changes.</DIV>
<DIV>
<OL>
<LI>Type <B>DEFINEKEYS</B> [Enter]
<LI>Click <B>Add</B>
<LI>Press <B>PageUp</B> key
<LI>Press <B>Alt+F10</B>
<LI>Click <B>Add</B> again
<LI>Press <B>PageDown</B> key
<LI>Press <B>Alt+F9</B>
<LI>Press <B>OK</B></LI></OL></DIV>
<DIV>One should also keep in mind that Win-Test requires no WinKey at all.
Win-Test sends excellent CW via real or virtual Serial Ports, and via real
Parallel Ports. Even USB-to-Serial adapters (FTDI or Eltima, but not
Prolific) work well. Some radios such as the K3 and FlexRadio support
on/off keying directly via the same serial cable used to control the radio, so
you don't even need a second COM port. Use the radio's built-in keyer for
paddle-sent CW, and optionally use the K3 Win-Test scripts to automatically keep
the radio's internal keyer speed in sync with Win-Test's CW speed (<A

<DIV>I don´t think it is as bad as Wolfgang puts it...<BR></DIV>

<DIV>We use MKIIs and MK2Rs with WinKey without problems. As far as I
remember, one important point to avoid speed jumps is to disable the speed
control via the poti in the Microham device and leave the speed control to
WinTest only. There is a checkbox for that somewhere in the WinKey
configuration menu within WinTest.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I also heard the tip not to use the ++ / -- macros within the CW

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hi, <BR><BR>In the last few contests I have noticed some strange
behavior when sending CW with Win-Test and MK2R+. This has taken place at
two different stations, and since voicing my concern I've heard a couple of
other hams confirm they've had the same problem: <BR><BR>Sporadically, the
CW speed will jump up to 40 WPM (it doesn't say that in the Win-Test window,
but that's the approximate speed) when transmission starts, and it stays
that way until I either change the speed manually with Alt+F9/F10 (and then
it will jump right back to 32 WPM or whatever, with one abrupt change) or
press Escape to stop the transmission and then Escape once more.
<BR><BR>This may have been dealt with already here, but does anybody have
any tips? <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>73 <BR>Kim OH6KZP
