First off, let me say something about myself. At the age of 1, I became legally deaf from a head damage. By the time I reached 35 years of age I only had 40% hearing left. When I learned the code back in 1990, I struggled badly trying to discern the dit from dah, I was learning the visual part but hearing was difficult at best until I started hearing the rhythm of the letters. After that I quit thinking dot dash but was hearing 1/16 note and dotted 1/8 notes. Bingo, within 30 days of passing my novice code, I was a general class, literally skipping tech class.

There are lots of learning aids. But they only work if you use them regularly. And one of the best learning aids is a motivated buddy.

Great overview, Jim. Nice to see how all the great features work.<br>I ordered one of these from Vince the other day. You've saved me a lot of "figuring out time" with this one. Thanks!

Hi Jim, thanks for the feature on the W8BH Morse Tutor. In order to give credit where it's due, Dann VE6TD and myself VE6LK aren't the creators nor did we modify the design by Bruce W8BH. We provide a kitting service where we bring in all the parts and put them in one place for your simplicity. I'm so glad so many people like the tutor and have improved their skills with it just like I have. Vy 73
