CWirc is a LInux plugin for Xchat that was originally designed to send morse code over an irc channel.  

This video shows how to adapt the CWirc plugin in order to use it to send cw with your PADDLES, BUG OR KEY by "keying" the CWirc APP,  and send morse code audio tones to your computer sound…

Short competition (recorded live) between 2 very good qrq cw software keyboards - CwType verses YPLog -

sending a short text file from NASA NEWS, at 75 wpm. Timing is the main criteria since both keyboards are keying sineCW, a software code practice oscillator vst plugin, so they will "sound" the same for the most part, but how the cw is coded for precise morse [ element / spaces ] timing in software at qrq levels will be slightly different. YPLog has many adjustments…

The latest version of FLdigi, 3.22.10, now has its own, cw audio bandpass filter,

to help filter out any qrq cw edge noises made in TRANSMIT MODE.…

Here are some videos about setting up QRQ CW apps on the LINUX PLATFORM…

This video demonstrates 5 different cw keyboard programs - just an overview of each one.( there are other videos that will go over the details of each one) These 5 cw keyboard programs were selected because they have adjustable cw timing parameters for weight, dot/dash ratio, rise/fall time, compensation etc...

This video is an overview and demonstration of some of the best cw apps out there for the windows operating system. First shown is how to hook up your paddles, bugs and keys all at the same time, to a program called ehoCW, so you can use any of them, any time on your computer. (ehoCw uses a serial port or USB to serial port adapter for attaching your paddles, bugs…

Every computer MICROPHONE INPUT jack,  has its own voltage and current that is already built inside it, in order to power Electret Mics.  By modifying a very simple and low voltage square wave generator circuit to make use of this MIC VOLTAGE, a very simple and NO BATTERY NEEDED -  EVER -   code practice oscillator can be made using this circuit, the MIC JACK,  and  an AUDIO to MIDI technique to regenerate the original input…

This is an experiment in using free VST PLUGINS to create a MIDI KEYED morse code sine wave oscillator(software). It is "keyed" by MIDI INPUT. You can also use this midi setup to regenerate morse code audio tones from another source. FLdigi is used in the video for this purpose. Using MIDI to key a software CPO, shows great promise, since the accuracy of midi input keying is far superior to using a SERIAL PORT for this kind of a setup, in regards to accurate timing. Even at extreme QRQ CW…

This video demonstrates an advanced method for qrq training with MIXXX using FREE VST PLUGINS to regenerate the exact incoming cw audio tones and recreate them with a FREE software CPO called BIPPER, - filter the final audio product - for audiophile quality qrq cw morse code audio tones. As an example, an audio mp3 file was made using FABIAN's ebook2cw program and then loaded into MIXXX for playback. The unique features on MIXXX make it a versatile training tool for qrq cw training;…

FLDIGI over the INTERNET

How to send any FLdigi digital mode over the internet to any other online FLdigi OP(s)…

EhoCW has just released a new version which allows for multiple instances and the option of using WASAPI AUDIO.  WASAPI AUDIO DRIVERS are almost as good as ASIO DRIVERS in regards to cw timing accuracy and low latency.  Only EhoCW has the option to select WASAPI SOUND CARDS, no other software cw keyer was found that had this feature.  Two instances of EhoCW are used and setup exactly the same to send iambic morse code to two different sound cards - one instance to…
