MorseKOB versions

This is the stable version of the KOB program. Completely unchanged since 2009, it’s still the preferred choice for most users. 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.

MorseKOB 4 (MKOB4/PyKOB)

MKOB4/PyKOB is a new application and collection of utilities written in Python. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux (including Raspberry Pi). It is being actively maintained, and is available on GitHub: https://github.com/MorseKOB/PyKOB
