My scouts loved it. Showed it to son-in-law who is a Ham Radio Operator and wants to learn Morse. All kids respond to activities in various ways as adults do. I used it to fulfill a requirement for the Communicator Webelo Pin
What a great way to “remember” the code. I don’t use it much, so it’s great to have a place to practice. KB1ARM is right, if you really want to “get your speed up” get on the air and pound away!
The machine is cute. It would have been a real help to me when I was studying code for my Novice ticket in the early 90′s. But in all honesty there’s no substitute for the “real thing,” so get on the air and pound some brass!!!
I think that Morse code is a great skill to have. I also think that this program is quite good, except for a few errors: 2′s and 3′s get mixed up, both in coding and in decoding. Please correct this error soon.
Really cool, except for one bug in the “listen and guess” test. Test 1 played and showed the Morse Code for 2 (..- – -) when it expected me to press the 3 button. As far as I can tell, Test 1 never actuall plays 3 (…- -) at all, though it does expect you to press the 3 button sometimes for the 2 code. It plays the correct code for 2 (..- – -), so its confusing when it comes to 2s and 3s, which seemed to happen very often.
Does it test “full stop,” “comma,” and “query”? They never came up for me and I went for about a thousand symbols on each test before getting tired. Also the letter “c” came up only once on each test, even though I say the other numbers and letters each about a half a dozen times or more, but that could have just been random chance.
This isn’t hard! If you just practice beeping in your name for a while each day, then move on to your families names and then more words and stuff, it really helps!
I think this tool is awesome, I can do all our names without thinking!
This is an important mode of communication. Something that shouldn’t be ignored or written off as ‘too hard’. While it is no longer required in the United States to know Morse Code to obtain your amateur radio operator license, it is still a great skill to get and keep. I got my amateur (or ‘ham’) license in 2000 and my one regret is I didn’t get it when I was younger so I could enjoy it more. Contact your local amateur radio club to learn more, or visit the American Radio Relay League to know more. A responsible Scout knows there is more than one way to communicate, especially if there is an emergency. Think about it.
Hey, guys! If you don’t know anything about Morse Code, just get a piece of paper and go to the Main Page and write all the letters of the alphabet and all the numbers except 10 and write down even the Fullstop, the Comma, and the Query. Then look at everyone’s Morse Code and write them down in the right places. Then go to Test 1 or 2. When it asks you to convert a letter or to find the right letter that goes with the code, look at your piece of paper, find the letter or code their asking for, and DO IT!!!!
You’ll zip right through this.

P.S:When you’re on Test 2, it never stops asking you questions.
P.S.S:Use the back of the piece of paper to write down information if nesscessary.
Stuck on a video game? Need help passing the next level?
There is a problom: The Y looks like V.
Hey! great tool! I’m learning a lot!
One problem:
Sometimes when it puts out the number 2 for you to guess, it says, sorry the answer is 3, when it was indeed 2!!!!
Other than this problem, it is cool!

Hey this is cool! This is really helping me to memorize the code fast.
is the Morse code of number 3 is ..—? I thought that is number 2. I found it different…

i found a glitch if you do test 2 first and then without doing anything go to test 1 the letter is the same letter encoded

the morse code machine is awsome! I`m going to tell all my friends about it.

The old is back!! Imagine a nuclear war… everything devastated … we better learn this.
This is a very good way to learn Morse Code.

Come on guys!
Cback123′s Morse code thing says “hi”

This was pretty cool, even though i only have a few words down. Ya never know, it might come in handy 1 day. Decifer this: …. ..
Verygood instrument to beginers. Thankyou

this games deadsville!
boring
i don’t think i’ll ever learn this IT IS HARD
:(:(
but it is cool
:l
I agree with eagle scout lucario of however he spelled it!
yawn
To do a dash hold in the buttin that says press here.
SNORESVILLE!!!!!
This is just like what the use in the Military.
Very interesting.
There’s an error in the “Listen & Guess” game, sometimes when it plays the #2 code, the answer says it’s #3. Other than that, this is fun.
