Yes there are code readers that work pretty good if you get the signal
tuned in right.

My father taught me Morse using a straight key, but I don't
remember what was supplied when I took the Test. I never
used a bug with my transmitter.
I hated code, and almost flunked the Boy Scout Morse Code
test when I was 13.
Now you can use an ordinary keyboard, and it converts it to Morse,
Does it work both ways?
