Getting CW decoding to work (again)

Tom Parish
For some reason I've butterfingered the settings on my KX2 and for the life
of me I cannot get it to work in decoding mode. I keep looking at the KX2
manual on page 29

The thing is the display is a show a 'T' in the lower right hand corner
indicating it's on.  I'm in CW mode. I can hear CW coming through. I have
CWT activated but no matter what I do I cannot seem to see in any decoding
occuring. I just see  the numbers for the B receiver.

I can only imagine this is an embarrassingly simple remedy but I'm
befuddled at the moment.

Can omeo

Re: Getting CW decoding to work (again)

It's going to be one of those evenings. I'll try this again.

For some reason I've butterfingered the settings on my KX2 and for the life
of me I cannot get it to work in decoding mode. I keep looking at the KX2
manual on page 29 TEXT DECODE and DISPLAY to step through those
instructions but, no go.

The thing is the display shows a 'T' in the lower right hand corner
indicating it's on.  I'm in CW mode. I can hear CW coming through. I have
CWT activated but no matter what I do I cannot seem to see in any decoding
occuring. I just see  the numbers for the B receiver.

I can only imagine this is an embarrassingly simple remedy but I'm
befuddled at the moment.

Could someone email me your suggestions [hidden email].

Appreciatively
Tom

What is your filter bandwidth?
It should be narrow, but not so narrow that your tuning (including the
CWT - SPOT) is extremely critical - about 200 Hz is about right.

Is the station possibly sending only numbers?  There are some Russian
stations that do just that.
