KX3 CWT and decode

[Steve Zabarnick]

I don't use CW decode on my KX3 and I noticed that CWT doesn't work
correctly when decode is turned off. With decode on all is fine, but with
decode off the middle CWT bar is always lit. A strong off frequency signal
will sometimes move the CWT bar to the left or right but it is difficult to
use CWT to center the signal.

Anyone else see this?

I recently started trying to use the CW decoder on my KX3 and am having
similar problems.  There seem to be several variables that can affect
correct decoding.

You might try changing the RX threshold settings for the decoder.  The
manual suggests RX THR3.  Bandwidth may make a difference?

I have been trying to use the KX3 Utility Terminal tab to decode CW,
which seems to work well enough on strong received signals. It works
fine coding and sending text from memory tabs or from the transmit
window,  My problem with the KX3 Utility Terminal tab is that it doesn't
show my own keying in the top window.

Are you using the PX3?  I'd try taking it out of the system and see what
happens.  I suspect it can mess with decoding CW.

The big surprise is that, while the KX3 Utility doesn't show my CW
keying, the text window in the PX3 DOES!
