I don't agree with your implication that people using CW decoders are
lazy. Some people's brains just aren't good at certain tasks. There is
just no way I can read (or send) code the speed most people do during
contests, for example. It is like trying to decode machine gun fire.

Well said, Lee. So many people these days seem obsessed on trying to

Hi David:
UNfortunately, you're not going to find many devices (other than the
human brain) which will decode poorly sent CW... and the K3 is no
different... the CW must be pretty well sent before it can decode it,
but it seems to do decently well on less than 'perfect' fists.

Lyle, how good is the decoder? My limited experience of CW decoding in
firmware is that the CW has to be near machine perfect in order for the
decoder to get it...
It does a decent job on reasonable code. I use it as an aid (OK,
crutch) rather than as the Gospel :-)

Just to reinforce this, I now only use software for RTTY if I absolutely have
to (mainly
for contesting). I find it so much easier to use my paddles and the K3's
decoder. You can
even do this for "casual" contesting using the CW Messages M1-4.
An added benefit from this is by getting use to s

I confess to not being a CW guy. Yeah, I passed the 20 WPM test for my
Extra many years ago, but that didn't make me a devotee. I use
microphones or keyboards when I operate. (With the K3, I've even used
my paddles, but not for CW!)
I find when I have the K3 turned on, I often tune down to
