aldo - Morse code training program

cw - sound characters as Morse code on the soundcard or console speaker

  • from: http://unixcw.sourceforge.net/about.html
  • An umbrella project for a Linux library and for few Linux applications related to Morse code.
  • includes:
    • libcw - main package
    • cw - CW sending 'engine' that reads characters from stdin, and sounds them on the sound card, console speaker, stdout.
    • cwgen - simple random character generator that can be used as a feed for cw.
    • cwcp - curses-based program that generates groups of characters from selected sets, words, and CW abbreviations randomly, and sounds them using libcw.
    • xcwcp - a CW tutor program offering the same random and keyboard sending as 'cwcp'.
      • Can also read CW that is sent to it using the keyboard or mouse as a keyer, making it useful for sending as well as receiving practice.

cwdaemon - morse daemon for the serial or parallel port

  • from: http://cwdaemon.sourceforge.net/
  • A small daemon using the pc parallel or serial port and simple transistor switch to output morse code to a transmitter from a text message sent to it via udp port 6789.
  • The program also uses the soundcard or PC speaker (console buzzer) to generate a sidetone.

ebook2cw - convert ebooks to Morse MP3s/OGGs

  • from: https://fkurz.net/ham/ebook2cw.html
  • Converts a plain text (ASCII, ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8) file (e. g. an ebook) to Morse code MP3 or OGG audio files.
  • Has a GUI ebook2cwgui

morse - training program aout morse-code for aspiring radio hams

morse2ascii - tool for decoding the morse codes from a PCM WAV file

  • from: http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm
  • Experimental tool for decoding morse codes from a PCM WAV file using a volume/peak based method.
  • Tool can also decode from text and RAW PCM files.
  • Contains some options for parsing abbreviations, prosigns and qcodes.

morsegen - convert file to ASCII morse code

MorsePractice - koch method practice

qrq - High speed Morse telegraphy trainer

  • from: https://fkurz.net/ham/qrq.html
  • Morse telegraphy trainer similar to the classic DOS version of Rufz by DL4MM.
  • Not intended for learning telegraphy but to improve the ability to copy callsigns at high speeds.

twcw - sends morse code via the sound card or serial card (Needs RTC installed)

  • from: http://wa0eir.bcts.info/twcw.html
  • With twcw you send text you type as Morse Code or send the contents of a file.
  • It either outputs morse code as audio from soundcard or by toggling the "Request to Send" line of your serial port.
  • You can use either to key your rig. You can also use it to learn and practice morse.
  • You can use the program Audacity if you want to see the different rise/fall times and shapes.

xdemorse - decode Morse signals to text

  • from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdemorse/3.4-1
  • https://www.qsl.net/5b4az/
  • Morse code signal decoder with an FFT-derived "waterfall" display of the incoming audio signal's spectrum using a Goertzel tone detector.
  • Also a 'scope-like display of the audio detector's output and status of the mark/space discriminator ("slicer").
  • xdemorse has a tolerance towards operator deviation from the standard duration of the elements that make up Morse code.
  • xdemorse also has CAT for the FT847 and FT857 and Elecraft K2 or K3 to set the receiver's frequency to by clicking in the waterfall display.

rscw - Receive CW through Soundcard

  • from: http://www.pa3fwm.nl/software/rscw/
  • Decodes Morse code to text using the computer's sound card, optimized for digging weak signals out of noise.
  • However it can only handle signals with perfect timing, which in practice means machine-sent signals.
  • The user must specify the speed (words per minute). Program cannot determine this automatically from the received signal.
  • As a final inconvenience, RSCW introduces quite a bit of delay: the decoding lags the reception by about 2 seconds.
  • So RSCW is not a general-purpose morse decoder that can replace a skilled operator in say a contest.
  • However it is quite useful for the automatic reception of telemetry from amateur-radio satellites.
