=========================================== CW_PLAYER =========================================== Written by G. Rivat F6DQM http://f6dqm.free.fr =========================================== This freeware program generates the standard Morse caracters, Q codes, abbreviations, random series of characters and text files. It controls your knowledge through a Quiz test and helps you to get a good keying by monitoring your CW signals. Keying off air and verifying your transmission on the screen will let you go on air with less stress and more confidence. It generates Wave sound files (*.wav) of morse characters that can be played by any media software. Local characters can be created by yourself. 20 lessons are proposed to learn the Morse code. You can modify their contents as you like. CW_Player needs a sound card and Win95 or more. Besides the Help files, a few hints are displayed when the mouse points on controls or boxes. If you can't open the HLP file under Vista please look at this link : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6EBCFAD9-D3F5-4365-8070-334CD175D4BB&displaylang=en Windows features such as Copy (Control-C) and Paste (Control-V) can be used to select part of a random serie and replay it by copying in the Text box or save it in a file by using the Paste with your favorite editor. (Note that the TEXT window accepts only ONE record so, only ONE line of an ASCII file can be pasted in this window.) This program is mainly intended to be downloaded by WEB surfers from radioamateur sites. Its purpose is to initiate non-radioamateur people and no-code licensed hams with Morse code and help them to get on the HF bands. So, don't hesitate to propose this software to your visitors if you manage a radioamateur WEB site. However, this program may also be used for your own morse training, for CW instructors or for training on the air by connecting one of the output of your sound card to the audio input of your SSB or FM transceiver. VERY IMPORTANT : While running this program under VISTA, WIN7, 8, 10 from a sub-directory under the directory Program Files, you will have to start this program as administrator anyway for getting full access to all functions of it, especially the recording of text files, image files, sound files. If you don’t do that, the produced files won’t be accessible because of the UserAccountControl (UAC) of Windows. If you don’t want to run the program as admin, you have to install it in a sub-directory which is NOT under C:\Program Files, but anyw
