The included oscilloscope display provided helps some in performing this adjustment, but one can usually do it by listening to the volume of received CW audio levels. Set audio level to a normal range and then use RF control to establish a good level of signal detection threshold. The key to using almost any CW decoder is to disable AGC in your rig, if at all possible, and this program is no exception. MRP40 is much better in my opinion, especially on weak signals. CWGet does okay, but at times falls short on weak signals. I was looking for a good CW decoder as I typically copy just in my head, but like to get a 'fill' every now and then.

I did not attempt to use it to send CW, since I'm not interested in doing that. Nevertheless, others might not care about those factors, and it is a good Morse decoder.

One should be able to uninstall the software and install it on a new PC without having to check with the mother ship!įor those two reasons, I decided not to make the purchase. I find that unacceptable since there is no guarantee that the author will be around forever.

From what I've read in other reviews, any time you need to reinstall it, or if you upgrade or reconfigure your PC (e.g., get a new PC, or replace the hard drive or other important part in your existing PC) you have to email the software author to get a new software key). The real negative for me is the way it is licensed. So I found the price (currently 49.9 Euros, which is about $79 U.S.) to be more than it was worth for me personally. I was mainly interested MRP40 for use with some DX operators who are real speed demons, so I wasn't planning on using it on a regular basis as a substitute for increasing my own copying ability (currently about 15-17 wpm). Toward the end of the trial I had to wait three minutes after double-clicking on its start-up icon! This feature won't affect those who purchase the software, but I found that it only served as an annoyance that hindered my purpose of evaluating the software. (Incidentally, over the course of the 30-day trial period, the software imposes a gradually-increasing delay in how long it takes for the software to load and then be available for use. It certainly does a better decoding job than Fldigi. I tried the 30-day free trial and found that the software does a pretty good job of decoding CW signals in a variety of HF band conditions. A bit pricey, unacceptable licensing scheme
