[Dx4win] WinKey with USB ...

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Although WinKey is not supported by DX4WIN (an unfortunate oversight), 
the microHAM CW Keyer supports software CW on the DTR line which is 
supported by DX4WIN. 

CW Keyer is useful for radio control and as a CW output device. 
The enhanced WinKey capabilities, with message memory and paddle 
input, continue to function in parallel with the DX4WIN generated 
CW.
