Wow, I hadn't known about this Winkeyer feature!? I'm curious about how it handles the initial delay.? I scanned the manual and couldn't find the answer.? Are all the dits and dahs delayed by the lead time between paddle contact closure and output?? Or does only the first element since the PTT output last? dropped have a delayed start?? I think it'd be difficult to use if everything sends out 30-40 ms after my fingers feel the mechanical contact at the paddle.
I checked this out today and the leadin and tail delays do function when you're just in keyer mode without the PC involved.? The first code elements are delayed by the amount of the specified lead time.? At 20 ms delay, I think I could get used to it.? 30 ms was very difficult to deal with.? I found that the keyer queues only two code elements, so if you start sending too soon, key presses might get lost.? A ten ms delay is hardly noticeable.
