Bryan,

I had similar speed changing issues with Writelog and Winkeyer.  I solved the problem by turning the speed pot on the Winkeyer fully CCW, and controlled the speed only with Writelog.  I do not touch the Winkeyer speed pot, just leave it fully CCW.

After installing WL v11.37B per Wayne's recommendation, I tried it out during the RAC Canada Day contest. I had similar issues with the speed changing all on its own.
The difference was that I didn't see a "Timeout" message.

What to do now?

tnx es vy 73,Bryan WA7PRC

The latest releases of Writelog versions 11 and 12, including the demo version, have improvements to WinKey compatibility. Whether you can use or try them depends on what OS your WriteLog is installed in:

Windows 9x  -- you have pretty much the state of the art, circa 1999, already.
Windows XP or higher--you'll need $30 to upgrade to the latest V11

Windows 7 or higher--version 11 works as above, as does version 12 and you have a 3rd, try-before-you-buy alternative:
