Me too. Actually, I miss small variations we used to see regularly on the CW bands - slight chirp on some sigs, variations in keying by people using bugs and hand keys, etc. Gone are the days one could tune across the bands and recognize individual operators and their rigs after hearing just a few characters.
All we have left is a little noise to create a listening "environment". Listening to keyers and keyboards on rigs with pristine keying characteristics is to me a lot like listening to a phone band filled with identical computer-generated "voices".

Pure tone, no noise CW, as from a practice oscillator or an S9++ signal quickly becomes boring and I loose concentration(or something). It's perhaps why I prefer to dig out weak signals (ESP) from the noise on the band. However I do really appreciate the tools available in the K3 to do this :) APF works great if you really learn how to use it. Any one else? 73, Deni - F5VJC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
