- I have had the Code3 for about a month now. Overall I am pleased.
- As Tom Roach mentioned the software is a bit "quirky". The
- quirkiness is mainly due to the "stupid" copy protection scheme (my
- main complaint). It runs great on my 386 laptop but doesn't even
- want to install on my OS/2 machine.
-
- Given the copy protection sucks, the rest of the software is easy
- to get started with but difficult to master. The Code3 does
- everything, so by necessity it can be complicated. If you know what
- you are hearing simply pick the mode from the menu. If you are not
- sure, use the "shift-speed analysis" and then go to the
- "autoclassify" screen. If the code3 has enough info (about 70% of
- the time for me but I am new at this) it will lock on to the
- correct mode and all you have to do then is press enter to take you
- to the decoding screen.
-
- There is a lot of stuff that I have not had enough time to sit down
- and really figure out. There are tools like:
-
- Correlation Raw signal
- Correlation Mod signal
- Correlation Bit
- Character Analysis Duplex
- ETC
-
- These look good on the screen but I have very little idea how to
- use them yet.
-
- I have decoded modes with the Hoka that I never even knew existed.
- The latest is Hellscrieber.

- Summery
- The Code3 does everything.
- The software can be simple to complicated, depends on how far you
- want to get into it.
- The copy protection for the Code3 sucks the same way copy
- protection sucks in general.
