When I got my K3, one of the first produced, I made a couple of RTTY and PSK contacts with the CW-to-digital feature, virtually my first non-CW QSOs since the 1980s. I think they wondered why I sent them 5NN reports, though. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://w

Hi Tony, I had the function in mind, then cajoled Lyle into doing the hard part -- the demodulator. Somehow he figured it out in just a few days. The key idea that led to the PSK31 and RTTY decoders was this: that a ham receiver should be able to demodulate all commonly heard signals and displ

Wayne: Re: CW-To-Data Feature I'm glad you thought of it! It must have taken a while to get from concept to production. I would imagine that it's not that simple to add other data modes -- the foundation is there but my guess is that it would require more code crunching? Thanks for all. To

A friend from work many years ago introduced me to his wife at a social gathering. When he mentioned that I was also a ham, her tone and demeanor suddenly changed, as she glared at me and asked “are you the one who gave him those teletype machines in the garage?” I was very glad that I was innocen

Hi Tony, I, too, am an avid user of the CW-to-PSK31 feature, which is available on the K3 and K4 as well as the KX line. I've even used it during Field Day, which is a hoot, especially with a tiny KX2 and its paddle being all the gear you need (no computer or keyboard required). All of these ri
