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 character when decoding by ear. I have often used CW Skimmer in
a CW contest in narrowband audio mode with decoding turned off for this
purpose. It works great and saves asking for repeats if you happened to
miss an element.
I once proposed here in this reflector that it would be nice if the K4
could have the option to do the same thing but all I heard back was
crickets.

Brian,
It does work. But it usually takes a pretty good signal. I have
gone over to CW Skimmer as it appears to be t he best thing on the
street, better than most all of the others. I can contest with it at a
pretty good clip. The setup is slightly involved, but once set up it
really works well and can control the radio.
