This was not due to lack of interest, from what I can tell, but lack of time.
#Gortzel cw decoder code#
I passed the test 1st time out because of the work that he put in.Įver since I got licensed after passing the 5 words per minutes code requirement, I did not touch it again. A local ham who is SK now bent over backwards to help me learn morse code by sending to me over the air and allowing me to use tapes that he had to practice copying. I was always told it is better to try and practice at 13 word per minute as you can pick it up better with the right spacing but I never made it that far.

To upgrade to General, you had to learn 13 words per minute and to upgrade to the Extra Class, you had to learn 20 words per minute.

Thank you.In order to get my first license (Technician Plus) with HF privileges, I had to learn morse code at a level of 5 words per minute. My email address can be found on QRZ if you are a member. If you or ANYBODY else has any recommendations for me on this, please feel free to email me. I posed these questions to the original author of the sketch we are all using but have not gotten a response. Do you think this approach will help me decode faster signals? Let’s assume for now that we’re just talking about computer generated CW and that there is zero QRM. I’m currently looking into incorporating an LM567 tone decoder IC hoping that will give me a better degree of accuracy with the added advantage that I can adjust the frequency with a pot at the LM567. Did you experience the same when you were developing yours? I’m working with Hjalmar’s code but have modified it to use an I2C display because that’s what I had. My decoder is having a lot of trouble with anything over 20WPM. Anyway, right now all I am concerned with is decode speed. Currently, I’m just testing it out using the “Koch Morse code trainer” It’s a free windows program that can generate a CW signal and you can include static or pileup if you want to. I’ve been working on this for a few weeks now trying to get everything working acceptably and have had to omit the microphone because it’s just not sensitive enough and it seems it would be simpler to connect the decoder to the auxiliary output on my radio to decode on-air CW. I hope this helps, but if not feel free to ask. I don’t know how fast does your STM32 samples each ADC. Then the buffer is processed the morse code letter is presented. N determines how many samples are done, each takes 112us. This reads the the analog value and then it is stored “n” times into the buffer. In practice the real world sampling rate is 8928 hz when it is read on the for loop like it is done on line 194 of the code above. You can read more about this topic here:
The original programmer is Hjalmar, OZ1JHM, he will be way more qualify to answers these questions, but it is my understanding that the sampling freq is derived from the analogRead() function which takes 100 microseconds leading to a theoretical sampling rate of 9600 Hz. So as you may know, I am not the original programmer of this code, I ported it to work on an arduino NANO.

If you want to download the fabrication files click here and scroll down to the Export Data Design section. My version allows you to select the target frequency and also the bandwidth via jumpers.Ĭompleted PCB. You can etch, CNC machine or send out the files for fabrication. In addition I also designed a single sided PCB version of the board for those who want to give it a try. I have deiced to post the schematics of my implementation and also the code I use on my version of this project.

Most of the questions I get are about how to connect the components. I receive a lot of questions on this project. This post was made 1 year ago exactly to the date but it is the most viewed article on this site.
If you are interested on building this CW decoder, but need assistance or have any questions feel free to send an email to. To increase the flexibility a microphone like this can be added to the circuitry. The “sketch” programmed in to the Arduino is based on the Goertzel Algorithm for those who are interested on how it works. Hjalmar published the schematics and source code for everyone to use. This Arduino based CW decoder was developed by Hjalmar, OZ1JHM.
