CQ?
Wondering if anyone is here. I have a question about software decoding of Morse code. I keep being told that is harder than it sounds, so I'm wondering what the issues are. I have a use for it right now. Thanks.
What's the question exactly? Are you looking to write a program to decide Morse or use something already existing?
If the latter check out fldigi. There are also a bunch of open source ham radio projects on GitHub that have cw decode you could lift.
Good luck!
Yes, that is the idea basically. I have some flashlights with a complicated single-pushbutton interface (https://anduril.click/). Rather than trying to remember all the crazy click combinations to activate different flashlight functions, I'm thinking of reprogramming the firmware to recognize commands in Morse code. I guess that is easier than off-the-air CW decoding, but on the other hand the CPU in the flashlight isn't very powerful. So I wondered if anyone here had wisdom about what I might be getting into. I will look at the Github repos. Thanks!
I've been inactive for several years, but 20 years ago I was using freeware to decode CW during contests and Field Day. I have to think there is something out there today that works just as well.
