<pre id="m_4403932013445115597tw-target-text" role="text" style="text-align:left" dir="ltr" aria-label="Übersetzter Text: Hi Bernd,
At our club station, we use the following setup:
Elecraft K3 + Micro Keyer II + Win Test + paddle connected to the Micro Keyer via a 6.3mm jack.
In Win Test, the Win Key chip is configured to display the CW speed as follows:
CW 30/24 WPM
Pressing ALT + F9 changes the first value (speed), which is the speed at which the logging program transmits.
Turning the CW speed potentiometer on the Micro Keyer changes the second value. The speed displayed in the Micro Keyer matches the value shown in Win Test.
My understanding is that this setup allows you to adjust the keying speed of the logging program and the speed when using the paddle separately.
That's why it's displayed this way, giving you the option to control both independently.
However, when I use the paddle, it doesn't key at 24 WPM, but with the same setting used for keying from the log program.
While the two values can be set separately, the first value always takes effect for both.
Do you have any ideas?

I think in the past this behaviour was not so, you could use different CW Speeds.
