If using this in a contest you will have to make sure your filter passband is quite narrow. If there are multiple signals within the passband it will not know which signal to tune to.

IN >fact, I peak at around 2,000 Hz and roll off some 60 db at 4,500 Hz. The low end of the spectrum suffers as well as I roll of around 800 Hz some 20 db. I have very little high end unless I crank it up and the walls start vibrating. Hearing Aids would correct all this, but at $3,000 plus....well, you get the picture. > >So, I always spot CW signals wrong because of my hearing defects. I have a >tendency to be high and the station does not hear me. I have to remember to tune lower and to a softer sound of 600 Hz or so. This has proven to be a problem during CW contesting and I have to really work at compensating for my hearing loss below a thousand Hz. The Auto-Spot feature changed all that. Just very cool. I want to see how it works in a contest. > >So, protect your hearing and do not get "old."
