[Elecraft] Experimental improvements to K3 CW text decode

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

We have a new field-test K3 firmware release (MCU 4.58/DSP 2.80) that  
offers improved CW text decode. The improvement is due largely to the  
addition of an independent CW decode AGC system. The regular AGC  
threshold, decay, slope, and other settings now have virtually no  
effect on CW decode accuracy. Decode timing has also been changed  
slightly to improve copy of code sent with shortened letter spaces-- 
typical of operators who "rush" their code, running letters closer  
together.

(Of course there isn't much we can do about extreme QSB, though we did  
briefly consider adding natural language parsing and a predictive  
lexicographical and semantic engine.)

If you'd like to try this experimental release, please email me  
directly. You'll need to load the code using the instructions for beta  
code releases on our web site.
