OK, I know I've seen this numerous times and I'm not imaging it....  I
saw it again this weekend on two different machines owned by two
different people.

Why is it that the PgUp/PgDown buttons don't COMPLETELY control the
speed of my WinKeyer2 while using WriteLog?  It seems that WinKeyer2
speed is a function of the setting provided by WriteLog AND the speed
knob setting on the front of WinKeyer2.  How does this manifest
itself?  Well, the speed just changes spontaneously while sending from
WriteLog.  I'll set the speed where I want and a few seconds later it
will go back to where it was.

Some have suggested it is RF, but this doesn't make sense for several reasons:
1) Happens on every WriteLog system I have used.  happened this
weekend on two systems in two different QTH's
2) Speed doesn't get set to random values but rather toggles between 2
settings;  The two settings are: the WriteLog setting AND the speed
knob setting
3) If I move the speed know so that it matches the WriteLog setting
then speed remains constant

I'm 99% certain that something causes the WinKeyer2 to fall back to
the knob setting after changing it with Writelog.  Is this by design?
Is there a configuration parameter that changes this behavior so that
WriteLog fully controls the speed?  I don't want the knob setting the
speed while connected via WriteLog.
