[DXLog.net - Support] Winkey Speed pot

Just tried it out quickly on 2.3.1, I confirm Fred's statement:
- Winkey (microHAM MKII) Pot only changes the Paddle speed
- So "Enable winkey speed pot" is essentially doing nothing...

I made sure that Winkey is in fact being used by opening the microham's
Winkey Monitor window; pot changes are being tracked there:

Turn "CW Speed" pot:
0657432174:  H-RX: 8F (8A)     [speed: min+15=30WPM] 
0657432267:  H-RX: 8F  (discarded, repeated value)     [speed: min+15=30WPM]

0657432377:  H-RX: 8E (89)     [speed: min+14=29WPM] 
0657432470:  H-RX: 8C (87)     [speed: min+12=27WPM] 
0657432564:  H-RX: 8B (86)     [speed: min+11=26WPM] 
0657432673:  H-RX: 8B  (discarded, repeated value)     [speed: min+11=26WPM]

0657432767:  H-RX: 8A (85)     [speed: min+10=25WPM] 
0657432860:  H-RX: 89 (84)     [speed: min+9=24WPM] 
0657432985:  H-RX: 88 (83)     [speed: min+8=23WPM] 
0657433079:  H-RX: 88  (discarded, repeated value)     [speed: min+8=23WPM] 
0657433172:  H-RX: 87 (82)     [speed: min+7=22WPM]

But as I start CQing from DXlog the speed goes back to its speed setting
(32WPM):

0657527912:  H-TX: 1C 20 0E 95(44) 02 20      [Change Speed Buffered: 32WPM]
[Set WinKey Mode: CTspacing=1(0), Autospace=0, SerialEchoback=1,
PaddleSwap=0, KeyMode=IambicA(IambicB), PaddleEchoback=0(1),
DisablePaddleWatchdog=1(0)]  [Set WPM Speed: 32] 
0657528005:  H-TX: 43     C
0657528052:  H-RX: C4      [status: WAIT=0, KEYDOWN=0, BUSY=1, BREAKIN=0,
XOFF=0] 
0657528504:  H-RX: 43     C
0657528504:  H-TX: 51     Q
0657529113:  H-RX: 51     Q
0657529113:  H-TX: 20      
0657529206:  H-TX: 0A 02 00      [Clear Buffer]  [Set WPM Speed: speed pot] 
0657529238:  H-RX: C0      [status: WAIT=0, KEYDOWN=0, BUSY=0, BREAKIN=0,
XOFF=0] 
0657529362:  H-RX: 20      

After the "Q" I pressed ESC, note the 00      [Clear Buffer]  [Set WPM
Speed: speed pot] coming right after that.

Hi Jim

Yes I found that menu but it doesn't work in the way I expect it to

The pot changes the paddle speed but the DXlog speed stays a whatever the
screen is set for and can only be changed with the keyboard

Moving the pot doesn't change the speed shown on the screen

My expectation is the the pot sets the CW speed for "everything" so I have
one sending speed whether on the keyboard/messages or the paddle.  
Its nice of the pot set speed also shows on the screen

Using a pot is way more ergonomic and efficient compared with usng ALT keys
needing 2 hands!
