Hi David:

UNfortunately, you're not going to find many devices (other than the 
human brain) which will decode poorly sent CW... and the K3 is no 
different... the CW must be pretty well sent before it can decode it, 
but it seems to do decently well on less than 'perfect' fists.

The brain is still your VERY BEST decoder!  Just takes some 
practice... well, OK... a LOT of practice... <G>

Cheers,

Tom   N0SS
