[Elecraft] HRD cw copy

[Mark, KJ7BS]

HRD does not decode Morse code.  However, its sister product DM780 (Digital Master 780) does decode Morse code.  HRD is bundled with DM780 so you get it with the download.

When you select the CW mode, the CW tones are decoded in the receive window.  There are some controls at the top of the receive window to "help" DM780 better decode Morse code.

I've run a side by side test of DM780 and CWGet and I have to tell you, CWGet does a much better job of decoding Morse code.  I find DM780 best decodes machine generated code and forget about a straight key, but it does better with bug and keyer generated Morse code.  The closer you get to perfectly sent Morse code the better DM780 does in decoding it.  CWGet does a much better job decoding Morse code, even from a straight key and it has a better tuning indicator, too.

The software to properly decode CW cannot be trivial.  Don't get me wrong, I think HRD/DM780 is the best "one stop" solution for logging, rig control, digital work on the market today, and the price is right, FREE, but the Morse code decoding needs some work.

 Simon has a real love for amateur radio to put so much time into a great product.
