Steve, Mike -
I set the Winkey to Ratio 45, Weight 65, Sample (Paddle Switchpoint) 35.
Thanks to Mike for the Sample setting. I have not yet tried the setup
Steve is using for testing, but this sounds and feels pretty good to me.

Here's what I have done so far to make the Winkeyer 'emulate' the feel of the
K2 internal keyer
1. I stored just my call in the K2 memory # 3, and set the speed to 25WPM
indicated
2. I stored the same call in the Winkeyer memory #1, and set the speed to 26
WPM indicated
3. I fiddled with the Winkeyer settings so that selecting either memory
'sounds' identical, or very nearly so
First thing I had to do was to add the 'pipe' character <|> between the letters
of my call, on the Winkeyer.
Then, I set the ratio to 55, and weight to 65. I am using Iambic B mode, if
that matters.
I can switch between the K2 keyer and the Winkeyer now, in either memory mode or paddle
operation, and they respond more or less identically. I do still hear a difference, as
if the K2 is "snappier" but, that's probably the mojo talking. The Winkeyer is
nice and even is also PIC-based like the K2, but I don't think it has any mojo.
Or, I perceive it as so, anyway. Perception can be reality! I think at this
point the matter may be subjectivity-limited.
;-)
Now, where is that FJ listening?
