[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Winkey

[Joe Giacobello]

I just got version 7.02 working with Winkey, and it seems to work FB.

However, the single key shortcuts for the CW symbols are different from 
the original DX4WIN keyboard.  "!" and "*" are inoperative.   "=" and 
"@" still send BT and WR, but ">" sends SK, "<" sends AR and ":" sends 
KN.  Also, the speed changes with "-" and "+" are 5 WPM rather than the 
normal 2 WPM for DX4WIN.  I presume that these features are "hard wired" 
into the WinKey firmware.

Except on rare occasions I had few timing problems with the original 
DX4WIN keyboard, but I did have problems using the N4PY keyboard on the 
Orion before TT made the latest firmware changes.  (The N4PY software 
used the Orion's internal keyer.)  It turns out that I now can run the 
DX4WIN keyboard on an LPT port and the N4PY keyboard with WinKey on a 
COM port simultaneously.  I am not sure how useful that is, but it may 
be of interest to some.  However, don't try to get both programs to 
access WinKey.  It causes a headache for DX4WIN which requires a restart 
to return to normal behavior.
