[Elecraft] 4.48 vs 4.51 CW Decode

Just pay close attention to centering the signal using the CWT decode meter.
I usually fine tune a little around the center of the range and find a sweet
spot. I have had good results with the last few CW Contests. The last
contest I showed my CW challenged brother how well the decoder works. He was
truly impressed and is leaning toward a K3 for his next rig. 

Lately, I have set my AGC THR at 10-11 as a good point to work for all
situations I encounter. Oh, also, my pitch is set either at 520 or 530 Hz
usually.

If you can find a station sending code practice on the air, that would be a
good place to see what  adjustments are needed for decoding computer
generated CW and then you could go from there for not so perfect CW.
