[Elecraft] HRD cw copy

[Gary NL7Y]

I've used the CW decoder ring function on my K3 a few times, but that's not
why I bought the rig. Good code, with a likewise good S/N ratio, yields good
machine copy. So does my brain to some extent. The spoilers are those ops
that send CW in a continuous unbroken stream, and high noise levels relative
to the CW signal.  

The former apparently like sending a stream via a key, or more likely a
keyboard, and hopefully there's a very experienced op or PC program at the
other end to make sense of it all. Some folks talk that way as well.

The challenge in a high noise environment is the ability to set the signal
threshold just above the noise to prevent the generation of random
extraterrestrial code = E's and T's. Yes I use and peak the K3's noise
blankers, and sometimes the NR with a wide filter, but it's those brief
noise pops that bleed through that ruin the CW soup. Somehow improving that
aspect will improve the machine copy I believe.
