The new decode display feature now being implemented on the P3
parallels something I just ran across.
50 years ago the Navy had a unit designated the AN/UGA-3(XN-1) which
took a 1000 Hz International Morse signal from a receiver and
translated it to Baudot code so it could be printed by a standard
Teletype machine. Accepted from 10 to 120 WPM Morse. It weighed
over 100 pounds. No tubes but over 240 semiconductors.
If curious there is a picture and link at <

Shows how far we have come in making things smaller and lighter.
