[Elecraft] CW Decode

With FW 4.51 installed the CW decode has become problematic.  I think 
Wayne mentioned that it was primarily an AGC issue.  With this in mind 
I've been able to get it to do almost perfect copy of the W1AW slow 
speed code practice tonight. My technique is to set the Threshold to 
Auto (HOLD CWT}, carefully tune in the signal to be copied using the CWT 
marker and then back down on the RF gain until the characters begin to 
appear.  You might have to ride the RF gain control to get consistent copy.

I don't know of any way to lock the VFO-B display into "text" mode.

Hope this helps ...

Brian, K0DTJ
