CW Speed Reset after every callsign entry in N1MM

Mark Adams

This is new. I'm working the CQWW WPX CW and I have N1MM set for 28WPM and SmartSDR set for 28WPM. I type in a call, hit enter and SmartSDR resets to 20WPM every time. It does not matter what values are set prior to committing the callsign. N1MM does not budge off the value I set.

No idea if this is an N1MM or SmartSDR issue. I'm on 3.2.34.

I can use CTRL-K for fills and let the paddles collect dust but this will eventually get old!

Whatever the problem is/was, it is "solved" by simply rebooting the computer. Since a reboot last night, the speed in the SmartSDR radio panel is following N1MM.

Separately, I wish that the CW features in the 6500 were more "complete". Wouldn't it be trivial to have the entire WinKeyerUSB feature set in the radio?

Last gripe is N1MM, I think. Why can I not get QSK when keying with N1MM? Arghh.... If I sell this rig and go back to the K3, CW features will be the reason.
