That's of of the things I like about you, Bill -- simple, logical
solutions to real world problems!

I have a significantly different way to try to address the underlying
problem. I'm not sure if it is even possible, and it is a fairly big
change.
When operating on CW, I use full break-in (QSK) to monitor my transmit
frequency. When operating voice and other data modes, the transmit times
aren't synchronized, so monitoring the frequency between transmissions
can be effective.
These techniques don't work with the JT modes. However, they have an
excellent ability to decode a message in spite of significant fading. It
should be possible to switch to receive during the middle of a
transmission to monitor the frequency and switch back with only minor
loss of decode effectiveness.
I have simulated this approach using a K3 by pressing the "Halt TX"
button for a second or two and then restarting the transmission without
having the other end miss the decode. If this procedure was automatic,
the windows of non-transmission could be shorter, reducing the effects
on decode.
