Hello to all, CCW is a pure digital mode as CW when sent by a computer because it is coded as another digital mode at a defined speed and it is not difficult to decode (almost same technic as PSK31 decoding ).
Now when CW is sent by a human being it is a very special digital mode let's say a "fuzzy digital mode" because the standard is not respected, the speed must be assessed and variations of dash and dot length must be taken into account (which is not simple). It is very complex for a program to decode human CW and it is not so good as a human ear (this situation being preferible...). Note: program decoding does not work at all as a human decoding: the second one decodes entire characters without any analyse of the number of dots and dashes when the first one decomposes in dots and dashes before deciding for nothing or for a character. 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Siegfried Jackstien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 11:45 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] " . . . the other digital mode" cw is digital!!!! on off on off .... or dit dah dit dah ..... sound there sound away ... so where is the analog compound??? ----- Original Message ----- From: S.J.
