[Dxbase] microhamKEYER and DXBase internal keyer

Wed Nov 15 08:35:32 EST 2006

There is a 'feature???' with WinKey and the microhamKEYER that can have a workaround.
(first off, the comport you select for the WinKey option in DXB should be the same as the 
WinKey comport in the microhamKEYER WinKey setup)
Basically, if you enable the DXBase implementation of WinKey, you can only adjust the 
speed via the DXBase cw speed icons.
The speed pot on the microhamKEYER is disabled.
I prefer the speed pot as I change speeds frequently and it's more convenient that using 
the mouse.
So..if you wish to use the speed pot on the keyer, make this setting adjustment
In DXB TOOLS>OPTIONS>CW OPTIONS>WINKEY OPTIONS
Under the WPM SETTINGS, enter a ZERO in the Speed box.
this basically turns the speed control over to the microhamKEYER's internal WinKey and the 
pot becomes enabled.
but
if you do click on the DXB Speed icons, it will then return control of speed back to DXB 
and the pot will become disabled.
