PROGRAM:

NAME


morse, QSO, morseX11, morseLinux, morseOSS, morseALSA - Morse-code trainer and QSO
generator for aspiring radio hams

SYNOPSIS


morse [-i] [-I] [-r] [-n num] [-R num] [-N num] [-C charset] [-w num] [-f num] [-v num]
[-g num] [-f num] [-e] [-c] [-b] [-a] [-l] [-m] [-t] [-T] [-s] [-q] [-p num]
[-E num] [-M num] [-d] [-A] [-B] [-S] [-x num] [-X num] [word...]

DESCRIPTION


The morse program is a Morse-code trainer intended to help aspiring radio hams pass the
5-word-per-minute Element 1 test. It can take test text from a text file on standard
input, or test words from its command-line arguments, or generate random text (-r) or play
back what you type (-i).

A helper program, QSO, generates plausible QSOs that can be fed to the standard input of
morse.

The following options control the behavior of morse:

-i
Play what you type.

-I
Like -i but don't turn off keyboard echoing.

-r
Generate random text. Starts out slanted towards easy letters, then slants towards
ones you get wrong.

-n NUM
Make words (groups) NUM characters long. Valid values are between 1 and 20.

-R NUM
Set the total time (in minutes) to generate text.

-N NUM (default 0 means unlimited)
Set the total number of words (groups) to generate.

-C 'STRING' (default all available characters)
Select characters to send from this STRING only.

-w
words_per_minute

-f
frequency_in_hertz

-v
volume (zero to one, rather nonlinear)

-g
alternate_frequency (toggles via control-G in input FILE at a word break)

-F
Farnsworth_character_words_per_minute

-e
leave off the <SK> sound at the end

-c
complain about illegal characters instead of just ignoring them

-b
print each word before doing it

-a
print each word after doing it

-l
print each letter just before doing it

-m
print morse dots and dashes as they sound (this printing-intensive option slows the
wpm down!)

-t
Type along with the morse, but don't see what you're typing (unless you make a
mistake). You are allowed to get ahead as much as you want. If you get too far behind
it will stop and resync with you. You can force it to resync at the next word end by
hitting control-H. Hit ESC to see how you are doing, control-D to end. (The rightmost
space in the printout marks where the average is. Farther left spaces separate off
blocks of letters that are about twice as probable as the average to occur, three
times, etc.)

-T
Like -t but see your characters (after they are played).

-s
Stop after each character and make sure you get it right. (implies -t)

-q
Quietly resyncs with your input (after you make a mistake).

-p NUM
Make you get it right NUM times, for penance. (implies -s).

-E NUM
If your count of wrong answers minus right answers for a given character exceeds this,
the program will start prompting you. If above the maximum error prompt it will never
prompt (implies -t).

-M NUM
If you get more than this number of characters behind, pause until you do your next
letter. 1 behind is normal, 0 behind means never pause. This option mplies -t.

-d
Dynamically speed up or slow down depending on how you are doing. (if also-s, then -d
only speeds up!)

-A
Add ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) signs to test set.

-B
Add uncommon punctuation to test set.

-S
Add uncommon prosigns to test set.

-X
Set error volume. Error volume 0 means use console speaker.

-x
Set frequency of error tone.

Here is the basic International Morse codest that the program will train you in:

A .- N -. 1 .---- . .-.-.-
B -... O --- 2 ..--- , --..--
C -.-. P .--. 3 ...-- ? ..--..
D -.. Q --.- 4 ....- ( -.--.
E . R .-. 5 ..... - -....-
F ..-. S ... 6 -....
G --. T - 7 --...
H .... U ..- 8 ---..
I .. V ...- 9 ----.
J .--- W .-- 0 -----
K -.- X -..- / -..-.
L .-.. Y -.-- + .-.-.
M -- Z --.. = -...-

The following characters are included if one uses the -B option:

) -.--.- " .-..-. _ ..--.-
' .----. : ---... ; -.-.-.
$ ...-..- ! -.-.-- @ .--.-.

The following procedural signals (prosigns) are also included if one uses -B:

<AR> "+" over, end of message
<AS> "*" please stand by (<AS> 5 Wait 5 Minutes) (".-...")
<BT> "=" (double dash) pause, break for text
CL going off the air (clear)
CQ calling any station
K go, invite any station to transmit
<KN> "(" go only, invite a specific station to transmit
R all received OK
<SK> "%" end of contact (sent before call) ("...-.-", known also as <VA>)

The following less-used prosigns are included if one uses the -S option:

<AA> "^" new line (".-.-", the same as :a, ae)
<BK> "#" invite receiving station to transmit ("-...-.-")
<KA> "&" attention ("-.-.-")
<SN> "~" understood ("...-.")

The following characters are included if one uses the -A option:

:a .-.- (also for ae, the same as <AA>)
`a .--.- (also oa, danish a with ring over it)
ch ---- (bar-ch ?, bar-h ?, ISO 8859-1 code 199 and 231 ?)
-d ..--. (eth, overstrike d with -, ISO 8859-1 code 208 and 240)
`e ..-..
~n --.--
:o ---. (also for oe)
:u ..-- (also for ue)
]p .--.. (thorn, overstrike ] with p, ISO 8859-1 code 222 and 254)
paragraph .-.-.. (ISO 8859-1 code 167 ?)

For the raw beginner trying to learn morse code, we recommend the following sequence:

1. Start learning the alphabet:

morse -r -s -T -d -w 5 -F 15 -p 5 -E -10

2. Then drill drill drill:

morse -r -s -T -d -w 5 -F 15 -p 5 -E 0

3. Real-time drill, with hints if you really need it:

morse -r -T -d -w 5 -F 15 -M 2 -E 4

4. Simulated test:

QSO | morse -e -T -d -w 5 -F 15

5. The dreaded random-letter test:

morse -r -T -d -w 5 -F 15

6. Finally try for greater and greater speed:

morse -r -T -d -w 13 -F 24
