The decode is rather persnickety. Your ears might not hear it but I suspect
your sending is just not perfect enough to satisfy the decoder.

Make sure the contacts on the paddle are clean. Drag a business card between
them while applying a bit of pressure.
Also reduce the keyer speed a bit.
I use both a single lever and a dual lever paddle. Timing and rhythm is the key
to a good fist. Roll your fist from side to side as

I'm taking that course in January, Cliff! I'm not precisely level 1, but
it's been so long since I used my code that I'm
Well, I think I might know what is going on then. The timing must be
really tight. I'm using a single lever paddle, and I think if it polls
when I'm switching from dit to dah, or vice versa, then it breaks the
letter, even if it sounds pretty much OK (well, it's faster than my ears
anyway).
So,
Cliff,
The decoder demands precise timing of dits, dahs, and the spacing.
It sounds like your "L" being decoded as ED is a result of a slight
pause between the leading dit and the following part of the dahs and
ending dits.
Similarly, "R" coming out as ED is the same problem - a slight pause
If it is decoding two characters and not one, this says the sending spacing and
length of each element is inconsistent.

I love my KX2, and I thought I would use the TX only CW code to practice,
but I'm having a problem.
I turn Vox off so there is no RF out.
I'm sending some letters like L that end up as ED, or something an R ends
up EN. The sound emitted by the radio seems right though. I even recorded
it in
