Others have made good comments about how to use SPOT. Lately I've been running my audio into my laptop and running CWGet. It has a nice little spectrum display where the CW signals show up as sharp peaks on the waveform display. I tune until the signal I want is right at 600 Hz on the display then I don't have to try to match the tone. You can set CWGet up so it will sit looking at one frequency (in my case, 600 Hz) so when I get the peak over the hash mark for 600 Hz is also when it starts copying the code. I have a pretty good sense of pitch and some musical talent, but for some reason I find it easier to put the peak over the 600 mark than to "hear" 600 Hz reliably. I sure think some kind of graphical display for the K2 would be nice. I'm not familiar with what all the "fancy" rigs do with their color displays. I kinda skipped a few generations of equipment when I dropped out of ham radio in the early 80's then woke up like Rip Van Winkle in 2005 to build a K1 and K2. But it seems like some kind of graphical display would come in handy for lots of things. Maybe the K3...
