The WOLFWAVE advanced audio processor, reviewed in last month’s PW, already has bandpass filtering, noise reduction and age-related hearing correction. In a major upgrade, SOTABEAMS has added an effective Morse decoder that can decode signals from 1 to 100WPM. SOTABEAMS comment that decoding Morse code represents a real challenge to the programmer; it’s just so variable. People send at differing speeds and with vastly differing ‘fists’. The ultimate decoder will always be the human brain but software can do a pretty good job. It took about six weeks of work to achieve a working product.

In another new addition, professional musician Chris Rolinson G7DDN has composed a ‘startup’ sound for WOLFWAVE, based on ‘WW’ in Morse code. Chris’s composition can be heard here:
