i found a glitch if you do test 2 first and then without doing anything go to test 1 the letter is the same letter encoded

The machine is cute. It would have been a real help to me when I was studying code for my Novice ticket in the early 90’s. But in all honesty there’s no substitute for the “real thing,” so get on the air and pound some brass!!!

Dear Boys’ Life,
I think that Morse code is a great skill to have. I also think that this program is quite good, except for a few errors: 2’s and 3’s get mixed up, both in coding and in decoding. Please correct this error soon.

TESTING THE TEST

Really cool, except for one bug in the “listen and guess” test. Test 1 played and showed the Morse Code for 2 (..- - -) when it expected me to press the 3 button. As far as I can tell, Test 1 never actuall plays 3 (…- -) at all, though it does expect you to press the 3 button sometimes for the 2 code. It plays the correct code for 2 (..- - -), so its confusing when it comes to 2s and 3s, which seemed to happen very often.

Does it test “full stop,” “comma,” and “query”? They never came up for me and I went for about a thousand symbols on each test before getting tired. Also the letter “c” came up only once on each test, even though I say the other numbers and letters each about a half a dozen times or more, but that could have just been random chance.

This is a very good way to learn Morse Code.

This isn’t hard! If you just practice beeping in your name for a while each day, then move on to your families names and then more words and stuff, it really helps!

I think this tool is awesome, I can do all our names without thinking!
Come on guys!

This is an important mode of communication. Something that shouldn’t be ignored or written off as ‘too hard’. While it is no longer required in the United States to know Morse Code to obtain your amateur radio operator license, it is still a great skill to get and keep. I got my amateur (or ‘ham’) license in 2000 and my one regret is I didn’t get it when I was younger so I could enjoy it more. Contact your local amateur radio club to learn more, or visit the American Radio Relay League to know more. A responsible Scout knows there is more than one way to communicate, especially if there is an emergency. Think about it.
