[Elecraft] K3 Text Decoder

[Fred Smith]

Contests are one time you can use decoders for CW and have them work fine I
have done so for 4 years. In contests 95+% of all contacts are machine
canned code anyway using macros and a good reader will do the job. I have
several thousand Q's doing it this way and I don't even own a key. Do I have
100% copy no but the percentage is better than 85-90% acceptable for me to
be able to dabble in all the CW contests.

Compared to what?  CW is difficult to decode, even when sent by machine.
What piece of software or equipment have you used that you thought worked
better than the K3?

RTTY decodes better by machine because that's what it was designed for.  
Morse code wasn't.  If you're disappointed in the K3 text decoder, the guy
you probably want to complain to is long dead.
