[Dx4win] WINKEY USB 3.1 Does NOT work with DX4WIN (Solved mostly)

[Artek Manuals]

OK here is the (hopefully) temporary workaround for those of you who 
have the latest Winkey USB 3.1 which DOES NOT  (yet?) work with DX4WIN

The cliff notes version  is "down-rev" the WINKEY USB firmware from 
31.02 to 30.10 the downside of this is largely the loss of the RTTY 
features in 31. For now I can live with this. You will also need to 
download TWO versions of WKTOOLS (tools4.3 works with 30.10 firmware and 
tools5.1 for 31.02 firmware.) you will need both tool kits to get back 
and forth. Also a good idea to unplug the USB cable after changing 
firmware for a few seconds so the drivers can reload

Many thanks to K1EL at WINKEY for his prompt replies to my questions and 
the info necessary to do the reverse upgrade. Once the older firmware 
was loaded in the WINKEY , DX4WIM recognized the WINKEYER without a hitch.

So far the folks at DX4WIN have not responded to acknowledge the problem 
. So when if ever there will be a fix that will allow return to later 
version of WINKEY firmware is unknown for now

Also many thanks to Max N5HNJ who set me on the right track to get the 
information I needed and provided a few tips that even K1EL forgot to 
mention about the need for two different tool kits depending on the 
firmware.
