Wayne, You are boiling the ocean for a small issue.
I think a better CW decoder would help on CW, some op's can't copy up or Eu, or JA, or................

Of course not. But consider two companies that make pants. One company's pants emit a discrete audible warning as you approach the front door if you've forgotten to put on a belt or suspenders. The other company's pants do not have this feature, resulting in giggles from passersby as your pants slip to the ground as you exit the building. Oh, and there's a TV van filming you from across the street. A crowd gathers, chanting "UP! UP!" Assuming the difference in cost is negligible, which company's pants would you buy? Another example. There's a company that makes table saws that will detect the presence of skin contacting the blade and immediately stop. (This is a real product.) Everyone else's table saw will happily amputate your finger. Which would you want? Suppose your son or daughter were using the saw, too? The saw with skin conductivity detection does cost considerably more. But OTOH, until this saw was invented, about half of all carpenters, as well as their immediate family members and pets, were missing at least one digit. My point is that everyone, even experts, make mistakes. In some cases a simple change can prevent most of them, most of the time. It may be worth the trouble. I want our radio to save our customers from embarrassment when possible. And at no additional charge. So, I'm going to implement the split/non-split text display for the next beta release. Those who don't need this feature--because they are well above average in awareness of state--can choose not to turn it on. (Until then, everyone, keep your pants on.)
