Yes, seen them, read them and it is still not decoding. :-( Since then I have altered the sound card settings along the lines of those used by another SDR user, so I'll go back again and see if there's anything that I can reset that will solve the problems. Dave (G0DJA) Tim Ellison wrote:

Chas, I used once the external audio from a keyer to create cw signals. This was before the SDR1k keyer did work properly. The problem was that the tone of my keyer had harmonics which created additional un-wanted cw signals. However, you could use the new sub-rx function and look for
