decoding beeps.

[jassing]

While scanning, about once an hour (or more) I hear what sounds like morse-code in very rapid succession and the same duration, I assume this is just station identifier information. Other times, I hear a different set of beeps and it seems to vary in duration.
I have read a a couple of posts about cw decoders, but no one linked anything specific, at least on the RR posts I read..
ebay has a couple flavors in typical ebay-no-case versions for sub $20.

So the question is: has anyone used these, and do they automatically decode or do I have to push a button to say "decode that" or (worse) press a button to say "Decode what comes next"

While the recurring info would be interested, I'm more after the one that isn't as regular.

The response I got from one vendor was "please google that" which didn't help, as I had already done that....

It would be helpful to know precisely where (what's the frequency Kenneth? hi) you have been hearing these 'beeps' and CW information (we can then move it to the proper forum if the freqs are not in the 2-30 Mhz range...); however there are many very good CW decoders that take the sound as input to your soundcard.

For example, CW Skimmer is supposed to be quite good at decoding - and many of the software packages on the site in my sig line can also copy CW.

A little more specifics, please...Mike

if you can get a good quality recording onto your computer you can decode with fldigi for free

Everyone keeps on doing that, but I'm afraid FLDigi - as good as it is - is really only designed for ham modes, with a couple that apply to utilities. Not much there, but a pic with a waterfall might be helpful

But again, the basic question remains - what's the frequency?
