ELF through VLF UNiVERSAL Frequency CONVERTER to Morse Code AUDiO: by STEVE HARRiS's DiODE PROCESSOR

FROM STEVE HARRIS SWH PLUGINS DIODE PROCESSOR 2.32 Diode Processor (diode, 1185) Mangles the signal as if it had been passed through a diode rectifier network.You should probably follow this with a DC offset remover, unless you want the offset. Mode (0 for none, 1 for half wave, 2 for full wave) The mode parameter is continuously variable…

QRQ CW on VLF band @5Khz @75wpm: alternative RX method using a soundcard SDR and HiGH "Q" antennas

with high Q antennas systems for RX/TX there is too much ringing & cw element elongation for good copy retrieval from the SDR down conversion from 5Khz to CW AUDIO... an alternative to straight mixing is to REGENERATE the CW from its unusable ringing cw elements...however, the elements volume peaks have to be equalized in volume by a DSP…

get rid of HIGH Q Ringing on QRQ CW by using a LiMiTER & CW Regenerator

with high Q ringing on a QRQ CW signal, by high Q filters &/or high Q antennas, you are going to get CW ELEMENT RINGING and CW ELEMENT ELONGATION which distorts the typical wave shape of the DITs and DAHS... especially on the DITs...the elongation will decrease its volume since the element takes to long to reach peak output compared to a…
