[WriteLog] WinKey driver choppy CW

[William Maurer]

Ed,

I have noticed that in CW mode, the delay after a CW message is sent to end of PTT is quite long - unless I do something similar to what you have done.  I open the ports screen then open the CW PTT Setup screen then select OK.  Now the delay after the last CW letter in a message to PTT release is very snappy.  I do not know why this is true but I noticed this behavior quite a long time ago and over many WL versions (years?).  So, I just do it before each CW contest.  I am using the Navigator interface unit...
