Yes, the current firmware decodes CW, RTTY and PSK in the VFO-B display
area.  However, it is just the first pass implementation and more tweaking
and functionality is on the way.  This is a great feature (coupled with the
upcoming DATA mode encoding from CW keying) for DATA mode QSOs using just
the radio without a computer.  However, for serious contesting or
DXpeditions, an interfaced PC is desirable.  And, there is the possibility
for the K3 DATA mode decoder to make its output available to the PC as an
alternative to, or in addition to, other software decoders or hardware TNCs.
