Time for me too chime in here. I am wondering if the WinKey interface in DXB will be fixed in the next release? I use C-Typer with WinKey as it has the correct implementation to utilize the features I need. N1MM works great with WinKey also. Jack?

The speed pot is generally easier for me to use rather than bumping the Winkey speed up with the shortcuts I use in DXbase (CTL-Pageup and CTL-pagedown). N4PY's control program for Icom and other radios has that feature, to turn the speed pot on of off, which makes using a Winkey with the speed pot much simpler and repeatable than the current DXbase WPM options. Now, to use the speed pot with DXbase, I set the speed setting in WPM settings to 0, but I can't get the range I'd like, even though I've experimented quite a bit with the other WPM settings. N4PY has a hard-coded 15 WPM range when using the speed pot, and the minimum of the range is specified by the user. The 15 WPM range seems fine to me. Using DXbase with N4PY's program has its advantages and disadvantages. For my typical DXing, I generally don't use N4PY with my PRO3, which is why I'd really like to see this enhancement to DXbase. For this situation, N4PY's program is a Winkey work-around for what seems to me (a non-programmer!) to be a simple, worthwhile enhancement.
