If you haven't played with CW Skimmer much, here's a couple of points of interest. 1.  You can run multiple instances.  I fed the Line Out from my K3 into the sound card of my computer, and had one instance of CW SKimmer display a waterfall of the narrow band audio from the main receiver

CW Skimmer not only has a great decoder, it has the best waterfall display I've seen.  On top of that, the waterfall runs right to left like all narrowband waterfalls should so that you can read left to right to visually decode a CW signal several seconds after the fact if you miss a
