[WT-support] K1EL WinKey switches PTT during CQ

[Siegfried Kleinöder]

Thanks for the info.

I know the built-in PTT and CW keying of modern radios, but I like the 
cw keying independent form windows load.
And second, I use a MKII for PTT sequencing PA & LNA and this works only 
in combination with the internal WinKey.

The behaviour whether internal WinKey in MKII or stand alone WinKey is 
identical.

With a stand alone WinKey (V9) and WinKey properties, as shown by bob 
below, after every space in text, PTT switches.
Paddle hang time is "Fixed Tail" to 30ms.
When I set the PTT-Tail to 100ms, then there is no more PTT switching.
If I set the PTT tail between 1.00 and 2.00 word spacing, PTT will also 
switch again after each space.
This is regardless of the speed set.

The internal WinKey in MKII (V10) behaves absolutely identically.
In MKII PTT - DeviceRouterSetup, there are the same setup options.
Also there, only with a fix PTT-Tail time about 100ms and more, PTT 
doesn't switches.

One request, can someone check this PTT behaviour with this PTT-Tail 2.0 
wordspace setting?

Does this behaviour also occur on other setups?

A long PTT tail prevents but does about the long tail-time not solve 
this issue.
