I found an article by Tony McClenny, N3ME that stated in part: "CW Operation: Wayne (N6KR) provides the following for anyone using the K3 to decode CW. "If you're seeing E's and T's, try using a much narrower bandwidth, 50-150 Hz, and turn on the noise blanker to reduce the level of impulse noise. I recommend using THR 2 or 3 for most signals, and THR 1 for very weak signals. These fixed settings usually work better than AUTO. When there is no CW signal above the required threshold, you'll see random characters decoded"
I am trying some of the suggestions both on and off list. I guess much depends on my area noise, antenna and there is not one size fits all settings. I appreciate all the help and suggestions. It gives me things to try and see what works for me. Now if I can get every one to zero beat me. hihi I call cq and it seems like the guys that have to really try to go slow for me get right on zero beat. Then there are those that I have to hit the rit button and seems like I spin the rit knob like crazy. So I am now being cautious and trying to zero beat each person I answer. Thanks again everyone for all the help and suggestions.
