[WriteLog] [microHAM] MK II CW suddenly choppy

[Gary AL9A]

Joe,

Just uninstalled WL V10.83E and reinstalled V10.82A.  CW is now sending perfectly as before the update to V10.83E.  Obviously there is something amiss in V10.83E.  I hope Wayne can get it fixed soon.  I understand there is now a V10.84 Beta out there somewhere, but not sure if fixes the CW send problem or not.  I guess time will tell.  Now to get some free time to actually get in the contest!

73,
Gary AL9A

  Was the problems present in Writelog 10.81 or 10.82? "What's New"
  indicates there were changes in the WinKey driver in 10.83.

  Have you made any other changes in configuration?
