Hi Chuck, Please use this command line: lame -m m -q 9 -b 64 1.wav 1.mp3
-m m Sets it to mono -q 9 Turns off all optimizations (I was thinking that Morse code confuses some of the optimization) -b 64 64kbit I got about 20:1 compression and it sounded good. When I cut it to 32Kbps the ringing came back, so your choice of 64 is a good one. 73's, and it's interesting to hear Zane Grey in Morse!

Been doing this for some time and using lame to convert to .mp3, but at some time during a new release the conversion scheme changed. Here is the .wav file: <http://www.k7qo.net/1.wav> Here is the converted .mp3 file using LAME 64bits version 3.98.4 (http://www.mp3dev.org/) <http://www.k7qo.net/1.mp3> I'd like to see the monotone output, but with a constant waveform instead of the spikes and dips. I hope this is not out of line and appropriate.
