Choosing "Yaesu (rig keyer)" saved correctly and still produced a WinKeyer panel
asking for a COM port. The engine is normalised on load through a chain that
names icom, flex and serial and maps EVERYTHING ELSE to "winkeyer" — so the
value came back as WinKeyer on every read, whatever the settings said.
That is why the panel offered COM3 then COM10: it genuinely believed the engine
was a WinKeyer. The list now names yaesu too.
The same shape of bug is worth watching for: a normaliser with a silent default
turns an unknown value into a plausible one instead of an error, and the symptom
appears far from the cause — here, in a panel three components away from the
setting.
