Well, good counter arguments from folks here.. Ops sending with bugs where
the characters aren't spot on in terms of timings are a good case in
point.
For that and the other reasons, I'm convinced and officially withdraw my
support for adding this feature hi hi.
As for machine copy of CW,
One of the most used controls in my K3 is the CW speed. The most missed
permanent information on the display is the speed too.
This is because the ham politeness demands always to call somebody at his
speed.
It's easy to tell the other station's speed, but often I dont remember where
I have set
Now this is a feature I'd support too Over the years I've gotten
reasonably good at guessing speeds, but I still tend to overestimate this. I
was working some of the stations in the 7QP contest last night with my K3
and RUMLog and on several occasions estimated their speed at around 30wpm.
If this feature existed I think I would still choose to set my speed manually.
Changing keyer speed by large amounts is always something that takes me a
few moments to get used to. For example, if I hear a guy CQ'ing at 15 wpm
and I am operating at 25 wpm, if I were to immediately go to 15 wpm
... and the next step would be that the K3 is looking
automatically for cw qsos in the speed you choose ?
IMHO, there are some other things to improve in the K3,
for example increasing the possible max cw speed
from 50 to at least 60 wpm or more.

I have set mine the last time. Then I have to touch the control to see
Ah, very good point when using paddles I do this too. Tho I just always
make mistakes with the paddles anyway hi hi.
But if you're using a keyboard, I can see how it could be useful. Oh well,
not something I'll get rid of my K3 for if it's never implemented but seems
like it could be neat to
most of the time
and prefer my WinKeyer to the one in the K3.

Since you use cocoaModem, one work around for this is use it to copy the CW. I
sometimes do that for a backup and it will display the incoming CW speed.

Should probably qualify it with roughly the incoming CW speed when the SNR is
good, and the guy sending the Morse is not afflicted by some weird
Yes,
I never use the cocoaModem display for setting speed. Just mentioned it as
a workaround if someone feels they need it.
I usually am able to guesstimate the speed close enough to get a QSO going
and can trim from there.
About the only time I use the display in ccM is when I want to get an
...this lead me to an idea for Auto CW speed function. When turned ON,
it would match the keyer speed to the received CW signal speed...
Go get him, Joe...

I see more use for the CW/CW-Rev config option than I do for Auto CW Speed. In
fact, auto CW speed is of no use at all here.
