"See" CW WPM on P3/SVGA?

[MaverickNH]

I wondering if there's a way to configure my K3S/P3/SVGA to "see" WPM in CW?
I'm a beginner and would like to find those slow QSOs at ~20wpm. CWOPS has a
Tue/Fri/Sun 7.035-7.045 6-8pm local suggestion for CWA students/graduates,
but it's hard to find...

Some combination of K3S and P3 settings, or just wheel the Big Knob around?

Bret,

You can use the waterfall display on the
P3 and SVGA option to see the relative speed of the dots and dashes
being sent.  I suggest that is your best alternative.

Once you find one that is sending at about the speed you want, then turn
the "big Knob" to that station.

It may take some tuning and listening time to familiarize yourself with
the speeds being sent by other stations.
You can use the ARRL code practice and/or bulletin transmissions as a
guide.  The bulletins are sent at 18 wpm.

Hi Bret,

You can turn on CW decoding in the K3S and see the decoded CW and the CW speed in the VFO B display area.


Hold TEXT DEC and tune VFO B to WPM CHK.  You can also choose TX ONLY to check your sending, CW 5-40 and CW 30-90.

Tune VFO A to adjust the decoding threshold.  thr AUTO is a good place to start.


CW decoding works best when you are tuned to the zero beat frequency.

Turn CWT on by tapping  CWT and then tap SPOT to automatically slide you in on the correct freqquency.


Now turn the big knob to a CW signal you see on the P3.


Cheers,
