[CW] Best Computer Code Reader??

Jan,

Go with the audio.  Then you'll be able to use the setup for RTTY, CW, SSB 
etc.

You can't beat that brilliant subcranial decoder you have there my friend!

If the remote site is within VHF/UHF range, you can run a direct connection 
via r.f. from there, I understand that ICOM is selling a 1.2 GHz set which 
will function as a fast "internet" type connection between sets and use 
compatable modems at either end - or so I've been told.  You'll have to read 
about it because I just heard what I was told, and I'm sure I probably got 
it twisted as I generally do first time I hear of some new contraption.

Subject: [CW] Best Computer Code Reader??


I am just now completing a fairly elaborate remotely controlled HF
site.  All control is via  Wiondows XP remote desktop, internet, and
computers.  All of the pieces are in place and operating except one.

I have yet to find a really accurate software program to read CW at the
remote site.  MixW does a great job for sending and receiving RTTY,
PSK31, and related digi modes, but is hopeless for CW.  Hamscope is fair
as a CW reader, and CwGet seems to read about as well or a little
better, but both still leave a lot to be desired.

My question is, whether there is a REALLY accurate software CW reader
out there that might be used at the remote site, so that audio doesn't
have to be brought to my home control site for copy-by-ear.  Ear copy
can be made to work, esp. with VOip programs, but it's very  complicated
compared to programs like MixW that allow operation on just about any
digi mode with no audio needed at home location (the remote visual
spectrum displayed via remote desktop is more than adequate for tuning).

Any advice would be much appreciated!  Many tks es vy 73 to all.  Jan N0JR
