“Keeping the sound of Morse alive”
MorseKOB is a program for doing landline telegraphy and American Morse with the help of a computer. For more information on Morse telegraphy, visit the Morse Telegraph Club’s website.
This is the legacy version of the KOB program. Completely unchanged since 2009. A tutorial and FAQ are available for this version.
This version runs on Mac OS and Linux, in addition to Windows. It has a few more features than KOB 2.5, but it's not as robust. It is a Java Applet, so it may be difficult to find a container to run it in. Not for the faint of heart. MKOB4 is generally a better choice.
MKOB4 is an application and the MKOB Suite is a collection of utilities. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux (including Raspberry Pi). It is being actively maintained. A Windows installer and the User's Manual is available here: MKOB Suite Windows
For Mac, and Linux (and Windows) the full Python project is available on GitHub: github.com/MorseKOB/PyKOB
