This is common with both WriteLog and N1MM.   Only Win-Test keys reliably 
without a hardware keyer.  Otherwise, a Winkey, microHam interface, W5XD Keyer, 
etc is required.73,Ed W0YK

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] Erratic Keying Same here with the IC-7610 and WriteLog; 
random times when CW messages turn to gibberish. Data modes and SSB work OK 
with same power so I think it is Windows timing, not an RFI issue. Like others 
I have recently bought a Winkeyer so will be trying that soon.Geoff G4FKA> On
