After playing with this program for a few days it seems obvious that the decoding part of the program is trying most of all to extract a call sign. As a result of this you can see the AI part of the program do what it can to separate all things after “DE” and construct a legitimate call. You can almost see it “think” as it makes those decisions. If you’re looking for a straight CW decoder for ciphering contest calls at mach 3, the K3 will do it as well as any of them and better than most (including CW Skimmer). I just admire Alex’s programming efforts. His unusually simple interfaces always succeed in disguising some very complex programming. The real benefit of this program will be realized with an I/Q receiver on the IF port. It seems strange that some hams would find this sort of technology objectionable. After all, aren’t we all about technology? Why would we hang around this forum if we weren't looking for a leg up. Just because someone has found a tool to work a new one doesn’t mean anything except to the ham that did it. There are times when I take out my homebrew DC receiver and a homebrew transmitter and pound away. There are times when I like to take my KX-1 to Central Park. There are times when I have three or four ham programs running all connected to my K3 during a contest. I do it because I want to and because its fun. If it wasn’t, I could go play golf (and really make myself miserable).
