[Elecraft] FW 4.51 CWT ( Another Perspective)

[Rick Bates]

That's confirmed here too.  I thought I'd (yet again) done something wrong
so it's nice to see someone else make the same observation.  

On a weak yet copyable signal (some arctic flutter), there was no CWT
response (and therefore no decoding either).  Altering THR or SLP did not
make any significant change.  Setting "auto" didn't help; my normal 1-3
still had trouble.  Dual passband mode didn't affect it either. 

CWT worked GREAT in 4.48.

Ah-yup, that's the cost of beta-ware; two steps up, one sideways.  :-)  I
know you'll get a handle on it guys.

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.
