2 Device to connect
Mini:
10
 A charging port and data controller connect to a computer
and mobile phone to send messages at a cost. You can also
upgrade the system firmware. It also acts as a charging port
for the internal battery of the device.
 A keypad interface connects to different types of hand keys,
automatic keys and, via optional keyboard adapter
attachments, a PS/2 interface on a computer keyboard for
sending messages.
 A headphone jack connects to either headphones or an
external speaker, either active or passive. The power of a
passive speaker is limited to 5W, and the plug on the
interface has to be stereo. Using a mono plug can
short-circuit a sound channel and damage the audio module.
 Keyed output and multiplexing interface: the default
function is keyed output, which can output the CW control
signal sent by the machine. It is effective at low level and can
control the key interface of external shortwave radio, which
is used to control the sending of CW information of
shortwave radio. By enabling the reuse function, this
interface can also realize other special functions (not
currently used).
11
Pro:
 Anyway, the Mini version adds a row of interfaces to its
version, which features the rest of the interface.
 The audio input interface bills an external CW audio signal
into the device decoding expansion board via a data cable,
which is used for CW decoding.
 A virtual audio output interface connects to either a headset
or an external speaker, either active or passive. The power of
a passive speaker is limited to 5W, and the plug on the
interface must be stereo. Using a mono plug can
short-circuit a sound channel and damage the audio module.
 Expansion ports are reserved for system function expansion
(not currently used).
12
Typical connection mode:
The device can be connected to the computer, mobile
phone or the KEYBOARD adapter to connect to the PC
keyboard to send CW information. When the mobile phone is
connected to the device, the OTG adapter plug should be
connected to the device. When the PC keyboard is connected to
the device, the keyboard adapter option should be connected
to the device. The device is connected to the KEY interface of
the external radio through a stereo audio cable, and the audio
of the radio is connected to the audio input interface of the
device through the audio cable or MIC module option (the
professional version has a unique function, but the mini version
does not have this function).
13
This typical device connection can realize the function of
sending and receiving both Chinese and English (the mini
version can only send both Chinese and English).
[Note] After the decoding function of the professional version is
enabled, the volume of the side voice of the radio station should
be turned off to prevent the side voice of the radio station from
being sent into the mixing of the decoding board and the
transmitting audio of the device, resulting in the incorrect
display of the transmitting information on the screen.

F1-F4 shortcut function keys
As the name implies, a button can quickly perform a
function, a menu. The panel size of CW POKEMON series
machine is limited. There are only four function keys on the
right side of the panel, namely F1, F2, F3 and F4. In order to
realize more shortcut functions, the function keys are reused,
and each shortcut key has different functions in different reuse
modes. You can view the function prompt of the current
shortcut key in the function prompt area on the right of the
screen.
You can enter four different shortcut areas by holding
down the function key. In each shortcut area, you can press
F1-F4 to realize four more shortcut functions. The F1 shortcut
area has two shortcut areas. So including the default boot four
shortcut functions, through the partition Settings, the machine
currently has 24 shortcut function keys can be used. The
shortcut function of partition 4 has not been developed and will
be used in the system upgrade.
In menu Settings, most functions of the F4 key are exit,
abandon, return to the upper-level menu and other functions.

After the startup LOGO screen is displayed, the device
enters the work interface. The device is mainly divided into two
interfaces, one is the work interface, the other is the menu and
function options interface; Click the power button to enter the
menu Settings and function options interface, and click F4 to
return to the work interface.
On the working interface, you can freely practice sending
and receiving, and use it as receiving decoding and automatic
call. The machine has 8 custom character storage areas and 1
call sign storage area, each memory can store 60 user-defined
characters (including space), which can be used to call one-key
send in the working interface. You can also use the shortcut
keys of the functional area to quickly achieve various preset
functions.
CW decoding Settings and adjustments
CW audio decoding is a special feature of the bag Spirit
professional edition, which can decode the CW audio signal of
the radio station after digital processing with DSP and display it
on the screen. The difficulty in decoding short-wave CW audio
21
signals mainly lies in the fact that short-wave signals are
influenced by ionosphere and have different degrees of QSB,
which leads to great changes in signal strength and high
short-wave background noise, thus affecting the decoding
accuracy of CW signals. So machine decoding can not replace
manual decoding, can only be used as an auxiliary means.
When using Pocket Smart Pro for CW audio decoding, there
are two key points to improve decoding accuracy. First, the
audio signal level sent by the shortwave radio station to the
host should be just right, so that the host is in the most sensitive
level of CW audio signal, which will greatly improve the
decoding accuracy and reduce the error code level. The second
is to adjust the frequency of the receiver, the CW audio signal
frequency is controlled near 600Hz, will greatly improve the
signal recognition rate of the expansion board; Specific
operations are as follows:
1. CW decoded signal volume adjustment
Connect the audio of the shortwave radio station to the
audio input port of the decoding board through the audio cable
with a 3.5mm plug, or connect the audio input port of the
decoding board with an external MIC option (it is recommended
22
to use the external MIC option, so as not to affect the radio
speaker sound). Turn on the radio, adjust the radio's volume
knob or RF gain knob, or adjust the gain potentiometer of the
external MIC option (clockwise volume is large,
counterclockwise volume is small), so that the CW decoding
indicator on the pocket Elf host panel just goes off without CW
signal (increase a little and it will blink). At this time, the
decoding sensitivity of the audio level is the highest. When
there is CW signal, the CW decoding indicator light will flash
clearly with the rhythm of the code signal. When the signal
stops, the corresponding flashing will also stop, and the
decoding accuracy will be relatively high at this time.
Of course, the recognition rate of CW decoding is directly
proportional to the quality and signal-to-noise ratio of the
signal. The stronger and clearer the signal, the higher the
decoding accuracy. When the weak signal or the noise is larger
than the signal, the decoding accuracy will decline, or even can
not be decoded.
2. CW decoded signal frequency adjustment system
In audio input level after the adjustment, will have signal,
radio frequency to fine-tune knob, radio frequency makes the
23
CW signal occurs, the pocket elf host panel light is bright, is the
accurate decoding frequency, although about frequency
deviation can be decoded, but obviously the accurate decoding
frequency, will improve the decoding of the time.
3. CW Common Settings for decoding
 Filter bandwidth setting medium
 DNR Settings No
 Decoding tolerance 9
 Decoding the lock Shut down
When the signal interference is large, setting the filter to
narrow band or starting the digital noise reduction function can
improve the ability of decoding CW signal from noise to a
certain extent.
When the CW decoding function is not used, please disable
the decoding function in the options menu to save the battery
consumption of the host.
24
4 Morse code training
Enter the menu to select Morse code training options,
internal there are 8 corresponding training functions:
 Memory training: the machine displays characters or code
symbols to assist learners in memorizing code symbols;
 Listening and copying training: the machine sends different
patterns of code for learners to practice listening and
copying;
 Koch listening and copying training: Listening and copying
training using the Koch method, a total of 40 periods;
 Sending training: the machine displays messages of different
modes of code, and the learner carries out sending training;
 Following the training: the machine displays random
characters. After the learner sends the message, the
machine evaluates the sending method.
 Sending game: a random Tetris style sending game in which
learners erase characters using keys or keyboards;
 Listen and Copy game: a random card game in which
learners select the correct answer by pressing a button or
keyboard;
 Chinese sending: send Chinese telegram code, the machine
25
shows the sending result.
Memory training
Before memory training, you can also set the mode of
random reporting, which is the same as listening and copying
training. You can also set the delay for displaying the correct
information. After entering the memory training function, the
shortcut key functions are as follows:
F1: display the character code comparison table, flip the
power button left and right to switch the display, F4 exit
F2: Display the characters first, and prompt the
corresponding code symbol and audio after the delay
F3: display code symbol and audio first, and display
corresponding characters after delay
F4: Exit the exercise and return to the superior menu
After entering the memory exercise function, you can press
F1 to display the code symbol table for view, and press F4 to
exit the view; Press F2 or F3 to perform code-assisted memory
exercises in the set mode. The machine sends CW characters
randomly, and the user answers the corresponding information
according to the displayed characters, and then compares it
26
with the standard information to strengthen the memory effect
of CW characters. Initial practice, the delay time can be set a
little longer, leave enough time to think; Later skilled, can set a
shorter delay time, improve the response speed. Press F4 to exit
the exercise and return to the superior menu.
Listen to copy training
Before listening and copying training, you need to set the
interval between characters and words, the number of practice
groups, the pattern of random characters, and the setting of
custom characters (if necessary) according to your own training
requirements. The training mode includes pure letters, pure
digits, mixed mode, callsign mode, custom character mode, and
communication phrase mode. Users can select the training
mode as required.
After entering the listening and copying training function,
the shortcut keys are as follows:
F1: Repeat this training
F2: Display the characters first, and then send the
corresponding code audio
27
F3: send the code audio first, then display the corresponding
characters
F4: Exit the training and return to the superior menu
Click F2 (display characters first) or F3 (display characters
after) to select the display mode, and then start listening and
copying training. Learners copy the code message, and check it
with the report displayed on the screen after listening and
copying. Press F2 or F3 to turn the page before and after
viewing. Press F1 or press the power button to repeat the
listening exercise. Continue pressing F4 to exit the listening
training.
Listen to copy the training step by step training method:
first of all, choose a suitable speed (not too low); Send the time
interval of characters, need to increase the early time interval,
with the increase of proficiency, gradually narrow the time
interval, the interval of the initial can be accumulated it is
advisable to copy the content of 10%, 90% when can correct
and stable copy after the training of character, a time interval
can be narrowed, continue to repeat the above steps training.
Until the character interval is reduced to the normal level
(normal horizontal character interval is 1 stop).
28
Koch listens and trains
Learning the CW (Morse Code Telegraph) is a gradual
process. It is generally believed that we should learn to listen
and copy first, and then learn to take and send. Listening and
copying training is also emphasized on the speed of step by
step, from a very slow speed, in the copying accuracy of close to
100% and then gradually improve the speed, until the level of
operation on the machine. The Koch method is different in that
it starts from the target speed and emphasizes direct response
rather than "translation". Of course, the Koch method also
emphasizes gradual copying. The copying training starts with
two letters, and when the copying accuracy reaches 90%,
another letter is added until the learning is complete. After the
Koch method listening and copying training function is enabled,
the shortcut keys are as follows:
F1: Repeat this training
F2: Display the characters first, and then send the
corresponding code audio
F3: send the code audio first, then display the corresponding
characters
Click F2 (display characters first) or F3 (display characters
29
after) to select the display mode, and then start listening and
copying training. Learners copy the code message, and check it
with the report displayed on the screen after listening and
copying. Press F2 or F3 to turn the page before and after
viewing. Press F1 or press the power button to repeat the
listening exercise. Continue pressing F4 to exit the listening
training.
Character interval time and word interval time can be
selected to adapt to the current speed target training; Koch
course parameters can be set. The range of courses ranges from
1-40. Each additional lesson will add a new character, and each
lesson needs to be gradually reduced from the larger character
and word interval to the standard interval of 1, and then
transferred to the next course. Step by step from lesson 1 to
lesson 40, you can complete the listening and copying of all 40
CW characters.
Transmitting training
Before sending out training, you can also set the mode of
random reporting, which is the same as listening and copying
training. After entering the sending training function, the
30
shortcut keys are as follows:
F2: Turn the page up
F3: The bottom of the newspaper page down
The sending training automatically generates the character
reporting for sending. Learners can carry out the sending
training according to the reporting, turn the page of the
reporting content through F2 or F3, or press F4 to exit the
training and return to the higher menu.
Tip: The random English characters automatically generated by
sending messages can also be used as the base of the
characters when the code is read aloud.
Following the training
The following training mode is specially aimed at using the
hand keys to send messages for training. By comparing with the
sound and graphics of the standard code, it can find out the
irregularities in the hand keys sending messages of the trainer,
and then the trainer can conduct targeted correction training.
Before entering the following training, some related system
parameters need to be checked and set. The first is to adjust to
31
the appropriate code speed; Secondly, in the menu of "System
Parameter Setting", set the parameter of "Decoding tolerance"
to an appropriate value (the smaller the value is, the more strict
the time check of CW dot, stroke and interval, and the higher
the requirement of sending technique), such as 3 or 5, in order
to obtain a good hand key training effect.
Before following the training, you can also set the random
