[Elecraft] DSP / filtering thoughts.

[Darwin, Keith]

I said:

How about a filter that corrects bad CW spacing?

To which Geoff replied:

      Pass.

-----------------

Pass?  Oh, but it would be great!  I could finally work those guys who
use bugs! :-)

I could also see a filter that would change the speed of the CW.  It
would be great during a contest or DXpedition to reduce the speed on
things now and then.  So after sitting in the pile-up for 30 minutes
when you finally get through and the op sends you QSL info (which you
miss 'cause he's too darn fast) you can ask your rig for a QRS replay
and voila, you have the data.

And I wonder what sorts of things a neural network could learn about CW
and what sorts of cool processing it could bring to the table.  A NN
based signal tracker might have an easier time following a signal
through the QRM / QRN / QSB jungle as it could learn things like the
op's speed and keying characteristic (swing).

Of course, the biological neural network can do a pretty good job of it
as well.
