xdemorse in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own xdemorse package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so xdemorse should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Sound plays through the device's own audio output, and video is decoded in software, so large or high frame rate files can struggle on slower devices. More about audio and video apps in Breadstick.

About xdemorse

From Debian's package description

X/GTK+ application for decoding Morse code signals into text. xdemorse detects the "dihs" and "dahs" that make a Morse code character via the computer's sound card, which can be connected to a radio receiver tuned to a CW Morse code transmission or to a tone generator.

The input signal is processed by a Goertzel tone detector algorithm which produces "mark" or "space" (signal/no signal) outputs and the resulting stream of Morse code "elements" is decoded into an ASCII character for printing to the Text viewer.

xdemorse has a certain level of tolerance towards operator errors (bad "fist") regarding deviation from the standard duration of the various elements that make up the Morse code. There is a "Waterfall" (audio spectrum) display derived from an integer-arithmetic FFT of the receiver's audio output.

This program has built-in CAT capability but only for the Yaesu FT847 or FT857 and Elecraft K2 or K3.
