Try turning the R.F. gain down. This might help.

Basically, unless the received CW signal is peaking close to s9 and the noise is s1 or less then decoding seems unreliable. If the signal drops towards the noise then everything just falls apart. I've tried various settings of threshold, pre amp On/Off, RX bandwidth etc., but I'm struggling to get successful results. Can anyone tell me what to expect in terms of performance, and what might be the ideal settings for best reception?

I've been able to remotely control many features of the radio, send CW and use up to 20 canned message macros, as well as direct input from the keyboard. KX3 Companion also has a logging capability and polls required information from the rig (freq, time, mode). While the KX3 Companion is not 100% perfect yet, with a little more development it could be a very powerful add-on to the radio. If you're interested in this sort of thing I would definitely give it a try. Please note the KX Companion required USB Hosting on the mobile device - the Samsung Tab 3 7.0 does not support this. The Tab 3 8.0 and 10.1 do.
