[WriteLog] Erratic Keying

[geoff plucknett]

Same here with the IC-7610 and WriteLog; random times when CW messages turn to gibberish. Data modes and SSB work OK with same power so I think it is Windows timing, not an RFI issue. Like others I have recently bought a Winkeyer so will be trying that soon.
