running vs 4.67 | 1.115 | 2.81 | 2.81 | 1.03

I remember there was a discussion about improving the K3's cw decoding after 
some agc upgrade that took place a long time ago. I wonder if what we have now 
is the 'final' version that we are just going to have to settle for?

I ask because I am still having a lot of trouble with cw decodes
I run thr 2 and cw 5-40 but decoding is just about useless
I have tried agc slow/fast and off
I have played with rf gain as well as filter widths
(I have 200 & 500hz filters as well as the 2.7 ssb filter installed)

with my new external svga display for the P3, I was looking forward to doing 
some lazy cw monitoring on the external monitor

at best I can copy strong stations like ARRL's code practice runs well,
but trying to decode most other cw qso's is pretty bad.

what was the older firmware version that did such a good job with decoding?

also if you do have it working, what setting are you using that do work?

TIA
