Neal,
As Tony and others suggested (many tks for this info), if DXB has WinKey on and the Speed range set from 0 to 255, then the external pot on the MicroKeyer (WinKey) controls the speed. But once you change the speed in DXB by using the arrows then the external pot on the MK no longer works. This is not user friendly. As I had mentioned in my first post, a simple DXB button to turn WinKey program control on or off and the ability to still use the external pot regardless of DXB settings would be much appreciated. 73, Rod > From: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:29:19 -0500 > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Status Update (feedback) > > Thanks Tony, I got some feedback from Jack that the speed pot not working > seemed to be very computer-specific so if there are issues it might be > either the setup you mentioned or interaction with some-yet unknown > program. > 73 > > Neal Campbell > Abroham Neal Software > www.abrohamnealsoftware.com > (540) 645 5394 NEW PHONE NUMBER > > Amateur Radio: K3NC > Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ > DXBase bug reports: email to [email protected] > Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ > > > > > > On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 10:17 PM, Tony - KD4K <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Neal, > > Below is a copy of a message I sent to Rod about the WinKey option. > > The WinKey option works fine for me.
