<DIV>I noticed that CW speed was jumping only after I logged 3-4 QSOs per minute
for a few minutes in a row.</DIV>
<DIV>I didn't look too deep into WT setup @ VE3EJ station
and assumed that this was some kind of "smart" feature helping to
handle pile-up more effectively. It didn't bother me too much because every next
transmition was back to normal speed.</DIV>
<DIV>Hope it'll help to figure out the cause of this phenomena.</DIV>

couple of messages, it was doing as designed, just till it failed again.
Speed pot min setting for WK inside the MicroHam Device Router is 15, max is
40, and in WT I used speeds from around 25 to 35 wpm. So this was well
within the bounds, thus it should have been OK, according to your

<DIV>Bottom line, Win-Test assumes a speed pot range of 20 WPM to 60 WPM.
If you use any other ranges, the speeds can get out of sync.
When you change speed with Win-Test, the POT does
<I>not</I> move to track the new speed, so its position is
immediately out of sync. Slightly touching it or some other
vibration might cause a resync to pot speed, and a speed jump.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>All WinKey / Win-Test speed jump issues go away if you forget about
touching the speed knob and only use Win-Test to change speeds, that is,
use "the only by the Win-Test commands" option in <A

<DIV>Here is a question for both the WT and Microham support
reflectors:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I find that occasionally the speed will jump up many wpm when
I send a "TU K5KG" message from the "+" key. I will be running and
running, and sending TU K5KG with the + key QSO after QSO. Then,
every now and then, when I send TU K5KG from the + key, the speed will
jump up to lightning fast (maybe 50 wpm). I'd appreciate any ideas
as to why this happens, and what to do to prevent it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is my current set up: Microham CW Keyer, WinTest 4.6,
K3. Although, this is my current set up, the speed jump up
also happened with WT 3.n and an Icom Pro3. Bottom line, it has
been happening for several years. The common elements seem to be
WT and the CW Keyer.</DIV>
