The most useful feature I have found for PSK frequency drift is 
the ability to decode the past. If you miss part of a 
transmission, you can go back and try to decode it again with a 
different frequency setting.

cocoaModem for the Mac has this feature. Any signal still on the 
waterfall can be decoded. When it finishes decoding the signal 
on the waterfall, it automatically continues decoding the new 
parts of the signal as they come in. cocoaModem is the only 
program I know of for any computer which has this feature. I 
would love to know of other programs which include it.
