Hear it.
Then send it cleanly.
Practise with the key you use on the air. The Box captures your sending; the Suite shows which characters and gaps are right and where you can improve.
Copy with confidence
From your first character to fast callsigns and pileups.
Answer with your paddle
Your own paddle or straight key, with immediate sidetone from the Box.
Know what to practise next
Mistakes, timing and personal bests guide the next session.
The tools in your Suite.
One desktop workspace for learning, receiving, sending and reviewing — plus keyer, Winkey Proxy and DX Cluster for operating at your radio. And DX Arena, the QSO & contest trainer, is free for everyone in the Windows app.
Morse lessons & Advanced Trainer
Learn characters by sound. Practise groups, words, callsigns and your own text. Review progress and difficult characters.
RufzXP & RufzXP TX
Copy callsigns at changing speeds or send them back with your paddle. Review mistakes after the run.
CW Summit & Balloon Burst
Build speed and accuracy, vary your practice and improve your personal bests.
PileUp & RX practice
Pick callsigns out of overlapping signals. Train listening and copying with practice and test texts.
TX analysis & Paddle Analyzer
Inspect your characters and spacing. Compare paddle contacts with the elements the keyer actually sends.
MorseChat & AI Chat
Chat in CW with other operators or work with the AI practice partner. Live chat needs an Internet connection.
Decoders & CW tools
Decode audio and your own keying. Generate CW audio and practice text, and use the keyboard simulator.

DX Arena
QSO & contest trainer

QSO practice
Contests
CWops and FOC contests with real member data.
DX Arena comes as a free part of the CW Suite in OpenShack for Windows, no license key needed. With a CW Suite license the short note about the Box and the Suite goes away and you get all the other trainers too.
