Gary,

In WL go to Setup/Ports and scroll the top row of tabs to CW Speeds. The table of CW Speeds is laid out in two rows of 8 boxes in each row. On my setup the first box in the second row is 30 WPM which is the default CW speed when WL starts. In the writelog.ini file this is described as cwspd08=30. The cwspd number count starts at 00, thus the ninth box is cwspd08.

Check which box in your CW Speeds setup window for the box that contains 35. If this is the first box on the second row (cwspd08=35) then it appears that when your laptop wakes from the sleep mode that WL reverts back to the default WPM speed, which in your case is probably 35 WPM. If this is correct you can try one two different options. 1.) Turn off sleep mode on your laptop so that it never goes to sleep. 2.) Change the CW Speeds setup window so that 20 WPM is in the default location. Then if your laptop goes to sleep when you wake it up WL should set the default CW speed to 20 WPM.

73,

Hi,
I have been rung the W5XD multi keyer with writelog for many years with no problem. Recently writelog has been jumping the CW speeds to 35WPM even though 20 wpm is where I like to keep it. It seems to happen most often if my laptop goes into the sleep mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Gary ke6qr
