[Elecraft] K3 CW decoding.

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

You could try changing the decoder threshold.  See "CW Decode Tips" in 
the manual (page 31).  "Adjust the threshold so that the CWT bar flashes 
in sync with the received CW signal".

A threshold setting of 3 is pretty low and may attempt to decode noise 
unless you have a very low ambient noise location.

Is there a setting that reduces the pickup of static noise that is being converted into nonsense letters. My settings at the time were 250Hz filter and threshold was at 3 under decode settings and speed was at 5-40 wpm.
