Personally I would find this a very nice improvement even though I don't use
the auto-CW feature. I often start tuning around in SSB or data mode, and
finish up in the CW portion. As soon as I switch to CW mode I lose the
signal and have to hunt for it again. Perhaps achieving this would not be as
simple as it seems if the sideband used for CW is not the same as is being
used for data or SSB. But it would be nice to eliminate that annoyance.
