CW / WinKey TAB
This tab provides the configuration for the WinKey based, internal CW keyer. A complete WinKey manual
can be downloaded from:
http://k1el.tripod.com/docfiles.html
. Thanks to Steve Elliott, K1EL for this great
product.
WinKey can be controlled by a logging program or operate in stand alone mode controlled by Router.
Router controls the speed range, Paddle mode and other timing characteristics of WinKey. When an
application opens WinKey, all buffer handling and speed changes are strictly under application control.
When WinKey is closed, the basic operating parameters can be adjusted on this tab. Every change is
applied immediately.
