This seems to be the nature of the beast (USB to serial conversion) 
I'm connecting to my radio through a USB adapter. With the first 
version of WriteLog I purchased, somewhere around 10.22 or 10.25, my 
laptop would send not perfect, but passable CW. Every version since 
then, the CW has been unusable.

It may not be WriteLog, I'm always adding and subtracting things so 
it may be that there are just too many interrupts and demands on the 
CPU to expect perfectly timed CW. Anyway, others have told me that 
good CW through USB isn't possible, and my experience seems to bear 
that out.

Right now I'm using WriteLog for logging and frequency control, and 
using the keyer memories in the FT1000MP for CW messages.

I'm thinking that the W5XD keyer may be the solution to the problem, 
but I'm still going to be interfacing through the USB adapter. Is 
anyone using this setup and can comment whether it successfully 
cleans up the CW from the computer?
