Well Gary, that goes without saying, but the issue was a comparison between text decoders and I was simply stating the fact that the KX3 decoder isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier IMHO.
I am a diehard student and lover of CW, and I have to admit when I'm in some QSO's where the other op is droning along parroting everything I sent, sometimes the mind wanders and I cheat a bit and see if I can catch what he/she is saying by glancing at the display. I know....I know....
