Hi Bill.

KComm from my website can send CW via the serial port on the K2 and K3, and
supports macros. It's also a fairly decent logging program.

KComm also has a built in CW decoder but it doesn't work very well so I
would recommend using Fldigi to do the CW decoding. You could continue using
CWGet, but the next version of KComm will be able to get the received text
from Fldigi and display it in its own window, as well as being able to use
Fldigi as a sound card datamodes engine.
