If you are pulling the transmitter up using PTT, try this:

Open Setup>Ports>CWPTT, then close it. See if the problem goes away. Let us know what happened.....

Hello everyone....I just wanted to respond to this issue as I also noticed the 
same
delay/hesitation in the actual transmission of the function key macros (after 
the key is pressed)
this past weekend during the rtty contest. I also use writelog v 11.21 
currently on a win7 pc.
I thought it was an adjustment I could tweak later until I saw others 
complaining of the same thing.
Just my two cents.
Thanks

HNY to all.
Steve pse which is your writelog version?
I have noticed the same delay-freeze in the last cq ww cw but 1)without fkeys, 
normal operation with function keys 2)my version was 11.21 3)operating system 
is windows 7 and writelog is installed in a different directory from the 
default 4)I had two computers in network 5)this happened more often when we had 
more qsos 6)computer was an old pentium 4 with 3gb memory any common with me?

Hi Steve,

There isn't any delay built into FKeys for most things.  A couple of
the complex macros require a few milliseconds, but the vanilla stuff
like "Press F3" just insert the equivalent of the key press into the
command loop for Writelog.  Hence, nothing you can adjust.

I can imagine that heavy use of the packet windows could cause some
congestion in the Writelog message loop, but I'd expect it to be the
same for a key press.  Possibly a combination of that and competition
of other programs could add up.  I'll be curious to see if others noticed an 
issue.

I use a pretty simple setup with no other connections and I don't
notice any delay.

Hello

This weekend I noticed a delay when using the Fkeys program to key my
macros during the roundup. Sometime there is a delay of nearly 1/2 a
second or more. When pushing the Fkey on the keyboard there is no delay at all.

Did anyone else notice this? Or is there some timing setting I can tweak?
