[SD-User] Problem with WINKEY

[Richard W L Limebear]

> I have just purchased Winkey Ver 10. but am having problems with getting it 
to work with SD. The only output I can get from my FT1000MP is a kind of 
Farnsworth CW at a rate of 1 or 2 wpm. Only other thing connected is Rig 
Control. I do not use a paddle but have a straight key connected across the 
CW output of Winkey. I think I have tried just about every combination in 
SD.INI that is possible. Any help.

I think that happened to me once with a new version of SD but, after closing
and re-running SD, it went away.

First thing is to see if its SD or WinKey causing the problem. You can try the
winkeyer without SD with the WKTEST program (free download on the winkey 
website) and try different outputs.

I don't think its a good idea to parallel a straight key with the keying
output; put it into the input connection recommended and then you also have
the facility to stop any auto keying with one dit on the external key.

Tip: set the winkeyer mode to "bug keyer" (eg the old vibroplex type) and put
external keying onto the dash connection; can then push any sort of external
keying through it.
