An observation while copying W1AW CW broadcast which has an excellent S/N ratio here, I have noticed characters being dropped on the SVGA monitor screen. "NOT" displayed on the K3 appeared as "NT" on the monitor. "REDUCE" on the K3 display is shown as "REDCE" on the SVGA monitor for a couple of examples. This is a frequent occurrence and is not related to a particular character. If the K3 has it, why is it being dropped by the SVGA/FFT board? Also wordspaces are not being handled properly at elevated speeds. 

I assume the decoded characters are being passed to the P3 via the CAT connection as MacLogger DX's keyer function also displays the decoded CW from the K3 and in past observations does so quite faithfully.. 

I look forward to the promised upgrades of the decoder software.
