I tried what Ian has said, and my winkey (dont know which version but its about
3-4 years old) on Com3 works fine no irregular speed ups or down and the speed
pot works fine as well, using SD V13.41B
Cheers

Right Paul... here goes:
Only applies to 13.41a and not 13.25 being used as my comparison.
Only occurs when a call is entered in the logging line
Winkey is version V2
using 9 pin serial port as COM1
When a call is on the logging line and the pot is set low speed and I press
F5, which is #R, the first call is at the correct speed but the second press
of F5 will result in the speed going up to approximately 28 wpm and sticks
there for F5 and for all F numbers above. As F6 is my run message this is
awkward
When it has gone up to 28wpm I can slow it down again with the pot as the
msge is being sent but the next depression of the key results in the speed
going
back up. If in using the pot I go to the lowest point of travel to slow it
down and I wish to slow down the next msge I can turn the pot up high and then
down again while sending to bring the speed back down. As before the next
depression of the key will result in the speed going back up.
I have found that if the F key message is using the call on the logging line
the speed will stay constant at the speed I set.
Also if I then go back from,say, F2 which has the call in the message to F5
and with the call still on the logging line I find that the first two #R
calls have a fast first character and then drops to correct speed. On the third
or fourth F5 depression the speed shoots up 28wpm and stays there if I carry
on pressing F5.
I then tried shifting the #R msge to F2 and got the same effect as with F5
and all the F keys were 'infected' by the higher speed. The only correct speed
requires the logging line call to be in the message.
The speed indicated on the screen does NOT track the high speed but stays
indicating the low speed I have set.
I also note that without a call on the logging line the cursor blinks slower
(and irregularly) compared with having a call entered.
I can't think of any other permutations at present
Ian
