[Kenwood] CW with the TS-850 and my computer?

Tue, 9 Dec 2003 18:38:55 -0500

Hi Guys....
    The only problem I've found with any computer decoded Morse code is that
the received code has to be sent PERFECTLY, otherwise you will see a lot of
gibberish. There are very few CW operators who send PERFECTcode as would be
sent by machine generated. Of course, if you are communicating with a CW
operator who is also using a computer to send...no problem. It's now machine
to machine.
Cheers and Good Luck !
