I've used the CW decoder ring function on my K3 a few times, but that's not why I bought the rig. Good code, with a likewise good S/N ratio, yields good machine copy. So does my brain to some extent. The spoilers are those ops that send CW in a continuous unbroken stream, and high noise levels relative to the CW signal.
The former apparently like sending a stream via a key, or more likely a keyboard, and hopefully there's a very experienced op or PC program at the other end to make sense of it all. Some folks talk that way as well. The challenge in a high noise environment is the ability to set the signal threshold just above the noise to prevent the generation of random extraterrestrial code = E's and T's. Yes I use and peak the K3's noise blankers, and sometimes the NR with a wide filter, but it's those brief noise pops that bleed through that ruin the CW soup. Somehow improving that aspect will improve the machine copy I believe. 73 Gary NL7Y -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/HRD-cw-copy-tp2195214p2205296.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
