This tab provides the configuration for the WinKey based, internal CW keyer. A complete WinKey manual can be downloaded from:http://k1el.tripod.com/files/Winkey10.pdf. Thanks to Steve Elliott, K1EL for this great product.

WinKey can be controlled by a logging program or operate in stand alone mode controlled by Router. Router controls the speed range, Paddle mode and other timing characteristics of WinKey. When an application (logger) opens WinKey, Router plays no part in buffer handling and speed control. All other settings remain under Router control, application settings are discarded to avoid timing issues and to keep WinKey behavior
consistent across applications.

NOTE: WinKey parameters are stored separately for each Preset. This allows quick selection of parameters by choosing different preset. The Paddle swap parameter can be also controlled from attached PS/2 keypad.

WARNING: Do not change parameters while an application (logger) actively accessing WinKey. When WinKey is closed, the basic operating parameters can be adjusted on this tab. Every change is applied immediately.

Paddle Mode

  • Iambic A (Curtis)
  • Iambic B (Accu-keyer)
  • Ultimatic (Single lever)
  • Bug Keyer (Vibroplex emulation)
    NOTE: To connect a straight key to MKII, use "Bug Keyer" mode. The straight key should be connected between ring and sleeve of a three conductor plug. The tip must be
    open.

Priority – Ultimatic mode offers a choice if DIT or DAH priority for dual lever paddles. If no priority is selected, the keyer works in a "last paddle wins" mode.

Paddle set point - controls when WinKey begins looking for a new paddle press after sensing the current one. The default value is one dit time (50) and is adjustable in percent of a dit time.

Disable paddle memory – When checked, DIT (or DAH) insertion is disabled.

Swap paddles - Reverse paddle sense for left handed operation or improperly wired paddle.

Auto space - Keyer generates automatic character space.

CT space - Selects “contest” word space (six elements long instead of seven).

Speed pot min/max - Min/Max value of the front panel speed knob (9) in range 5 to 99 WPM.

Farnsworth speed – Sets the Farnsworth keying speed (10 to 99 WPM range, 0 disables this feature).

DIT / DAH - DIT/DAH ratio from 1:2 to 1:4 in hundreds. Accepted numbers are from 200 to 400.

Weighting - Weighting in percentage (from 10 to 90%).

1st extension - Extension of the first dit or dah in milliseconds (QSK only).

Keying compensation - Extension of each dit and dah in milliseconds (QSK only).
