[Elecraft] FW 4.51 CWT ( Another Perspective)

[Adrian]

There is definitely an issue with cwt function in the latest beta firmware.
A clearly audible but weak cw signal failed to pulse the indicator properly
at manual 1.
Usually the noise is pulsing it around 1-3, but that is no longer the case.
It needs fixing. I noticed it quite a while ago, but kept quiet to see if
anyone
 else picked it up. It is no longer sensitive to other than strong signals.

All  you have to do to get good CWT copy is to turn the CWT Threshold to
about 7.

I get good copy with CWT with the NB on of off at this setting.

I have the AGC threshold set to 14 and the SLP set to 000.  

I have run the SLP up to a setting of 10 and still get good CWT print.  

I am not sure we have a problem with CWT at all.  Just the right setting of
CWT threshold. 

As far as the Auto Notch is concerned,  I like the present reiteration of
the Auto Notch..  It might be a second slower in notching,  but it does
notch.  The reason I like it that it does work at my settings,  and is not
as aggressive which means less distortion of the receive audio when engaged.
Less of the hollow sound or watery sound when engaged.  

>From my perspective,  I don't see the need for changes. 

But understand others points of view.

So,  I actually liek the less agressive auto notch.
