That would tend to indicate an WriteLog initialization problem in the
WinKey support code - K1EL WinKey, K1EL WinKeyer 2 and microHAM MK2R
(which uses WinKey 2) - for WinKey. I would assume it might effect
"WinKey+OTRSP pipes" as well but have not heard any complaints there.
I may not be seeing the issue because I change hardware so often for
testing and changing the CW keyer type may force the initialization
just as changing all mode PTT does.

I agree Joe, I'm not sure why it makes a difference either.
I wasn't sure if it was a Writelog setup issue or a MKII or a MK2R+ (I have
both units, the MK2R+ replaced the MKII today) setup issue.
For testing purposes I installed another very popular free ware logging program
and the delay issue was not present. So that told me that the Micoham
hardware/router was not the issue.
So back to Writelog. I just started messing around with settings and nothing
would solve the delay problem I didn't expect an adjustment in the CW PTT Tab
to solve the problem since I do not have COM PTT selected that is associated
with the line for my K3.
I made the adjustment in the CW PTT anyways and it fixed the problem. Not sure
why, but at this point I really don't care, it works.

I brought this up a couple weeks ago, which still appears to be a
problem. The problem being that my K3 would not return to receive
quickly enough after hitting an F-Key message. It was bad enough that
I would miss the first letter of a returning caller to my cq.
I think I may have solved the problem. I went into setup|ports and
selected the CW PTT tab.
Per the Microham setup document for Writelog I had 'on LPT pin 16/COMM
RTS' selected. I changed that by selecting 'none'. This seems to
have solved the problem. My K3 now returns to receive quickly after
sending a F-Key message.
I'll keep playing in the ARRL 10m contest to see if my fix is really a
fix.
