Is there a noticeable time delay when using Bluetooth? If so, it might be a problem for monitoring CW sending (or voice, for that matter).

You could hook it to the speaker or headphone output of the radio and buy a pair of Bluetooth headphones and listen just fine.  In order to use your mic (as with an headset/mic arrangement), you would need a transmitter on your headset and another receiver on the radio, plugged into the mic jack.  To use it, you would need to put the radio on VOX.

Do these things transmit continuously?  I would be more comfortable with the idea if they only transmitted when you were talking on the radio.
