[WriteLog] Notes on MK-1100 Multi-keyer

[Dave]

It would be nice if you had the "OPTION" of having the paddle speed 
different than the internal Writelog speed. My particular operating habit 
is have my paddle set slower than my run speed so if running at 35-WPM but 
want to do fill by hand because the station I'm working can' quite copy at 
that speed I can fill slower without all the extra key strokes up and down.

Different strokes for different folks....

The other thing on my "wish list" for the future firmware release is the 
OPTION that the unit power up in the with "Auto Letter Spacing" turned OFF. 
I don't particularly like auto lettering feature and I disable it in 
Writlelog.ini However when i use the keyer with DX4WIN I have to first 
start Writelog ( toggles the keyer auto spacing OFF) then shut down 
Writelog ,then start DX4WIN (with the keyer now in the Auto Spacing OFF mode)
