I just loaded the latest firmware a few weeks ago and was impressed with how well CW decode now works. My best results were with NB and NR off, AGC-S, RF gain turned down so ambient noise just kicks the meter, THR=AUTO, speed 5-40. Use the CWT auto-spot to tune and narrow the passband to exclude other signals. YMMV
As an aside, I have used the TX-ONLY option of CW decode to improve my character and word spacing. I figure if the K3 can understand what I'm saying, most CW ops can too. 73, Brian, K0DTJ On Jun 19, 2013, at 9:45, Sam Morgan <k5oai....@gmail.com> wrote: > running vs 4.67 | 1.115 | 2.81 | 2.81 | 1.03 > > I remember there was a discussion about improving the K3's cw decoding after > some agc upgrade that took place a long time ago.
