With respect, I take exception to "quality". It's how close to machine sent CW it is that makes all the difference when trying to use a machine to decode it.
Just like computer generated voices, "machine perfect" is often not as pleasant to hear or as easy to understand by humans as human-generated voice or CW. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- K3, KX3, KPA500-FT, KAT500-FT,P3.
