Description:
Morse Pilot is a freeware Morse code tutor / trainer with decoder and encoder functions.

Morse Pilot is intended for personal training (for example for radio ham or aviation examinations).
Of course it is not a substitute for proper training or a real morse key!

Features:

  • Fast, easy to use interface with navigation by large screen buttons or hard buttons, and audio feedback options for blind users
  • Morse input via long / short screen taps, with automatic calibration function
  • Various text sources, including graded lessons (built-in or custom memos), memo or clipboard text, or graffiti, as well as random words and abbreviations, realistic amateur radio transmission texts ...
  • Character input by graffiti or external keyboard
  • Electronic key simulator
  • Extensive help, parameter preferences saved between sessions

Update Description:
Notes:

  • Don't throw away your old PalmOS 3.n devices - they are ideal for training with Morse Pilot! There are a couple of small issues with PalmOS 5.n devices (see below), though they do not affect the main functionality of the app.
  • Memory usage:
    • 11K DXCC.pdb (optional text database)
    • 50K MathLib.prc (obligatory - but you probably have it already)
    • 113K MorsePilot.prc (obligatory - delete previous version before installing)
    • 37K MorseQSOs.pdb (optional text database for QSO practice)
    • 94K PToolboxLib761.prc (obligatory - you may have it already with games apps; only install if this version is higher)
  • Version 3.3 is compiled with the newest version of PocketC and is distributed with the newest version of the PToolboxLib library. This has resolved the graphics issues with PalmOS 4 and PalmOS 5.
  • The Tungsten T beeper and timing behaves slightly differently from the beeper and timing in other devices. You may have to set the pitch to 500 Hz, the Dash/Dot ratio to 3.5 and the Dot/Space ratio to 1.5 to get good results (experiment a little with the settings).
  • Morse Pilot has been used successfully with the following devices:
    • Palm Pilot Professional with III upgrade (PalmOS 3.0).
    • Palm IIIc (PalmOS 3.5).
    • Palm Vx (PalmOS 3.5)
    • Palm mXXX series
    • Palm Tungsten T (PalmOS 5.0)
    • Palm Tungsten E (PalmOS 5.2.1)
    • A device freeze was reported for older versions of Morse Pilot during memo input on recent PalmOS 5 devices with Graffiti2. This now seems to be ok.
    • There is an issue with multi-stroke Graffiti2 characters, which are not correctly recognised by the Morse Pilot input routines. This does not affect other functions. It will be some time before this can be fixed.
  • I have received numbers of requests to include an interface with other hardware, such as a qrp tx. After much experimentation and consultation with Jeremy Dewey (PocketC developer), it seems that a simple solution is not available. If anyone has hardware which will decode serial ASCII output into Morse Code via the serial port, please get in touch and I will try to include an option to send text this way.
  • The screenshot will be updated asap.
  • v3.5 is a maintenance edition which was re-compiled with PocketC 6.5.1.

Works just dandy with both my Samsung SPH-i300, my PalmOne Tungsten W and my Handspring Visor Prism. Oh, and if anyone ever finds the ShineMicro SM2496 TNC, please find me at the usual address for ARRL members.

I've been looking for a decent Palm morse program for quite a while and this is great! Works on my Tungsten E a treat the lessons very good, being able to test yourself by writing the letter direct to the palm screen is superb. Very snmall program with loads of output options and lesson plans.
