SD now polls WinKey to determine if it is WK1 or WK2. If it
doesn't get an answer within a few seconds, it thinks there's
no keyer attached. The WKINIT command can be useful in these
circumstances.

There's no need to switch if WK1 works OK for you. However,
I like the internal monitor in WinKeyer USB (WK2), and the
fact that it can be used "standalone", without any computer.
Also, I have Schurr and Kent paddles, and WK1 sometimes
gave extra dits with both of them. This problem has gone
with WK2 - perhaps your optocoupler has done the same.
