CWweighting =2<br>> <br>> As I already explained you _SEVERAL_ _TIMES_ in
private emails, the <br>> meaning of the setting is different between version
4.10 and 4.11-dev <br>> (august 2013) or later.<br>> <br>> To be
consistent with the all possible keyers in Win-Test (mostly <br>> "direct
keying" with COM or LPT ports), the weight settings is now a <br>> Dit/Dah
ratio setting. When set to 3.0, the Dah is 3 times longer that a <br>> Dit,
which is the default setting. A value of 2.0 select a 1:2 ratio and <br>> 4.0
a ratio of 1:4. These two values (2.0 and 4.0) are the limits of the <br>>
settings, to comply with the WinKey chip features (check the WinKey <br>>
datasheet).<br>> <br>> On the other hand, most of the WinKey chips on the
market are integrated <br>> in devices which have their own "middleware", and
can ignore the setting <br>> sent by Win-Test (eg MicroHam router).<br>>
<br>> To be short, set this value to 3.0, and modify it by small steps (0.1)
- <br>> you can use the Up / Down arrows - to get a ratio that will fit your
<br>> needs. A last note : Having such a setting distant from the 1:3 ratio
