Hello Simon, I want to thank you for the great software and as somebody who has actually attempted a little programming (with mixed results) I know the amount of time and effort you have put into the software. I usually run a beta version of your software and find your beta version runs bet

Robert, After reading Rick's glowing assessment of the MRP4-EN I gave it another try. I am afraid I can not give it the same rating. I ran CWget and Hamscope at the same time both with near 100% copy while the MRP40-EN got 50% at best. At times it would get 100% (so I must have it setup right) a

There is a varity of Software that will send and receive CW. Try Hamscope, MultiPsk, MixW or CWType. It is not as much fun as a real key or paddle but gets the job done during a contest when there are a lot of operators doing 30+wpm. I dubbed around a bit before I discovered my radio had to be

Hello again I reread your post and you said the CWget program doesn't like you. I assume you are having trouble with the program (if not forgive the post) so try clicking with the mouse on the spikes in the spectrum. Then it will decode the sender. My rig has a 700 hz tone so when I tune the s

Hello, CWget can be a great aid in learning the code if you use it as a backup. Find somebody on the air doing slow speed code or try to hook up with a patient ham like Andy then tune in with CWget and while it is decoding you decode on paper. That way if you miss anything CWget will help you f
