The Microcode kit assembles into a versatile Morse Code reader capable of decoding and displaying audio Morse code signals from speeds of 10 words per minute (wpm) to over 40wpm. A sensitive integral microphone combined with a tunable bandpass active filter allow the Microcode to operate effectively by being placed near to a receiver's loudspeaker. Alternatively, a line input allows direct connection to the audio output from a receiver. Direct connection of a Morse key is also supported making the Microcode a useful tool for training and skill development. 

Display Options

Two display options allow both lines of the 16x2 character back lit LCD to be used for text display or decoded text can be displayed on the top line with current average speed in wpm on the bottom line. The display backlight has three settings and can be switched off to save current when using a battery supply. 

Menu System

All user functions are easily and quickly changed during normal operation using two front panel push buttons and the Microcode's intuitive sequential menu system.

Character Set

Where possible we have also included the International Morse Code non-English extension to the Microcode's character set. This covers most of the European alphabets with lower case characters being substituted characters not supported by the LCD.

Whilst no automated system can beat the ability of a skilled operator, the Microcode performs remarkably well and will prove a useful tool for both novice or expert.
