No, Router is not overriding WriteLog.  WriteLog implements the 
"pot lock" mode in WinKey and current versions of Router respect  
the application's settings.  

In "pot lock" mode, WinKey (and Router) reports changes in the 
speed pot setting to the application.  It is the responsibility of 
the application to explicitly set the WinKey CW speed.  WriteLog 
sets the speed in the discrete preprogrammed steps.  The current 
implementation of Router is no different than Writelog with a 
K1EL WinKeyer 2 or WinKey USB alone.

CW speed is responsibility of the application.  Enable the WinKey 
monitor in Router to see what the WriteLog is sending to the 
WinKey.
