MorseExpert 1.15 decodes Morse Code audio to text, leveraging algorithms from CW Skimmer for optimal performance on weak, fading signals amidst interference on amateur radio bands. It processes audio from the device's built-in microphone or an external radio receiver via cable, optionally highlighting Ham callsigns and keywords. The application features a waterfall display with a bandwidth of 200-1200 Hz, decodes frequencies between 300-1100 Hz, and supports keying speeds from 12-45 WPM with automatic CW pitch detection. Recent updates include support for Android 15, edge-to-edge mode, improved stability, and a pause decoding button. A premium version offers an ad-free experience and user-selected text colors. Users can switch between General Text mode and Ham Radio QSO mode, which enhances word segmentation and highlights callsigns. The app also includes a frequency lock mode, text selection capabilities for copying, sharing, or saving decoded text, and provides guidance on reducing acoustic echo and constructing an audio attenuator for optimal radio interfacing.

KComm, a logging and communication program, was specifically engineered for Elecraft K2, K3, and KX3 transceivers, leveraging the Lazarus cross-platform development tool. It operates natively on Windows XP and can be compiled for Linux, with potential for macOS, prioritizing low resource usage for casual DXers and contest participants. The software integrates with external applications like Fldigi for diverse digital modes and CW Skimmer for advanced Morse decoding, enhancing its functionality beyond basic logging. The design philosophy of KComm emphasizes utilizing the physical radio controls for operational adjustments, rather than replacing the transceiver's front panel. It facilitates keyboard CW operation via the Elecraft serial protocol and capitalizes on the K3 and KX3's built-in decoders for RTTY and PSK31. Additionally, KComm supports PSK31, PSK63, and PSK125 through the AE4JY PSK Core DLL on Windows and integrates with PSKReporter.info for spotting. While not a dedicated contest logging or award tracking program, KComm supports ADIF and Cabrillo export for casual use, allowing logs to be imported into other software. The author, G4ILO, ceased all software development, providing KComm "as is" without further support or updates; however, the source code is available under the GNU GPL for community continuation.

The _Touch CPO_ circuit offers a unique method for Morse Code practice, eliminating the need for a physical key. It leverages the versatile IC555 timer, configured as an astable multivibrator, to generate an audio tone. Users can adjust the tone's frequency by manipulating a 100 K variable resistor connected between pins 7 and 6 of the IC555, providing flexibility in the practice experience. Volume control is achieved via a 10 K variable resistor, while a 1 K Ohms preset at pin 4 of the IC555 allows for fine-tuning the touch plate's sensitivity. The design connects the touch plate to the base of a BC147B transistor, a configuration noted for its flexibility regarding the length of wire between the transistor and the touch plate. The author's prototype successfully used a 9 cm wire with a 3 x 6 cm aluminum plate. This project also suggests an alternative application as a touch-operated doorbell, demonstrating the circuit's adaptability. The design emphasizes simplicity and ease of construction, making it accessible for hams interested in DIY electronics.

An introduction to develpment of morse keys in radiotelegraphy history

Monitoring extremely weak signals in the QRSS (Very Slow Morse) mode requires specialized receiving and processing capabilities to extract information below the typical noise floor. This project provides a software solution, _QrssPiG_, designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, enabling it to function as a dedicated QRSS grabber. It interfaces with various Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices, including the popular _rtl-sdr_ dongles and _HackRF_ units, to acquire raw I/Q data streams. The software then performs the necessary signal processing to visualize and decode these faint, long-duration CW transmissions, often operating with milliwatts of power. The system leverages the computational power of the Raspberry Pi for real-time signal analysis, allowing hams to participate in QRSS experiments and monitor distant beacons. It supports different SDR hardware, offering flexibility in setup and deployment for home stations or remote monitoring sites. The project includes detailed instructions for installation and configuration, making it accessible for those familiar with Linux environments. This grabber is particularly useful for tracking propagation on the LF and HF bands where QRSS activity is common, providing a visual representation of signal presence over extended periods.
