Are you using the microHAM control protocol for SO2R? If so, please<br>
remove the microHAM control port from Win-Test setup and try only<br>
Classic Auto Control via LPT or virtual COM ports.<br>

Nonsense! Never use Classic Auto Control unless your computer or the<br>
operating system does not support USB. The most common cause of a<br>
delay in start of transmit with Winkey is a logger that does not<br>
properly handle the buffer in Winkey - typically one needs to reset<br>
the Winkey device. This problem is independent of the hardware and<br>
needs to be fixed at the application level.<br>

Many people have reported similar problems, with varying solutions.<br>
<br>
Did you check the Router software for its own PTT delay settings (PA PTT)<br>
as well as WKSETUP? Is your Router software up to date?<br>
<br>
Even if you're not using a spotting network, did you still disable stream<br>
logging in both the Alt-O and Alt-A windows?<br>
<br>
Did you try typing REOPEN [Enter] [Enter] to re-initalize all COM port<br>
settings?<br>
<br>
Do you have anything generating a PTT beside the WinKey? Any LPT or COM<br>
port pins labeled PTT?<br>
<br>
Are you using the microHAM control protocol for SO2R? If so, please remove<br>
the microHAM control port from Win-Test setup and try only Classic Auto<br>
Control via LPT or virtual COM ports.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Anyone solved this?<br>
<br>
Winkey delayed almost 1 sec before transmit in MK2R+<br>
<br>
No telnet and no lead on PTT!!!<br>
