The author of the CW Get program is UA9OSV, Sergei Podstrigailo. I guess it was the first program that allowed in the Windows environment morse code decoding through the sound card. It is a shareware, i.e. a freely distributable program with certain restrictions. After paying the registration fee of , you will get the full version.
System requirements are not high: Windows 95/98/NT/2000, AMD 5×86-133 or Pentium-75 processor, 16-bit sound card. CW Type, which is very similar in appearance, is used for broadcasting.
The program's desktop is divided into three parts: a spectroscope, a list of received text and a signal level meter. In the upper part there are six buttons with the most used functions, in the lower part there is a status bar with current settings.
Mark the desired signal by clicking the mouse on the spectrogram. If AFC is on, the program will automatically adjust to it. It can be used to eliminate interference DSP FIR or IIR filters, burst filter (maximum speed - eliminates disturbing impulses, etc.) and manual detection level adjustment, which improves the quality of the received signal and helps in decoding even weak or disturbed signals.
If the algorithm of the program finds CW marks on the selected frequency, they will start to be displayed as text on the screen in a moment after determining the transmission speed. The program can also tolerate fluctuations in transmission speed, imprecise keying, etc QSB. If something is not decoded, it will be written to you in the text as dots and commas in brackets so that you can guess what character it is. Decoding accuracy depends on the quality of the received signal and program settings. Proper tuning of the receiver and optimization of CwGet settings are important for best results.
CW Get is my favorite - I've been using it since version 1.0 and I'm happy with it. The spread along with the beacon helped me a lot in determining the conditions DK0WCY. The highest received speed that I had the opportunity to try was about 270 LPM, whether it can cope with the declared speed of 5,000 LPM (eg MS) I will leave it to you to try.
