subroutine extract(s3,nadd,nqd,ntrials,naggressive,ndepth,ncount,nhist,   &

! Input:
!   s3       64-point spectra for each of 63 data symbols
!   nadd     number of spectra summed into s3
!   nqd      0/1 to indicate decode attempt at QSO frequency

! Output:
!   ncount   number of symbols requiring correction (-1 for no KV decode)
!   nhist    maximum number of identical symbol values
!   decoded  decoded message (if ncount >=0)
!   ltext    true if decoded message is free text
!   nsf    0=no decode; 1=BM decode; 2=KV decode
