[Elecraft] 4.48 vs 4.51 CW Decode

[Bill K9YEQ]

I have sent in my FT radio so I cannot give you my settings.  I find the
latest update for CW decode to be the best yet.  I do narrow my filter.  I
also use the decode to improve my copy speed and was easily in the 20WPM +
speed.  I send around 15+ with the KXPD3.

I agree.  I just installed 4.51 yesterday, but it doesn't seem to work as
well as 4.48, even using the same settings for slope and threshold.  I will
experiment more before I give up on 4.51, but I will probably revert back to
the previous version.

I am saving a copy of 4.48 so I can go back to it.  

IMHO 4.51 is:
1) More difficult to use
2) Does not perform as well as 4.48
3) Lacks the weak signal performance of 4.48
4) Requires constant adjustment of the RF Gain control

This was  the absolute best CW decoder I had ever used. I am still using
4.51 but have not yet hit the sweet spot with it. Perhaps others are having
better results and will share AGC settings, threshold setting etc. 

I am can copy call signs, signal reports at elevated speeds, but alas I am
CW challenged and am using CW decode to help me get over the 18 to 20 wpm
block.
