[Elecraft] K3 CW Text Decoding

[David Gilbert]

CW Skimmer not only has a great decoder, it has the best waterfall 
display I've seen.  On top of that, the waterfall runs right to left 
like all narrowband waterfalls should so that you can read left to right 
to visually decode a CW signal several seconds after the fact if you 
miss a character when decoding by ear.  I have often used CW Skimmer in 
a CW contest in narrowband audio mode with decoding turned off for this 
purpose.  It works great and saves asking for repeats if you happened to 
miss an element.

I once proposed here in this reflector that it would be nice if the K4 
could have the option to do the same thing but all I heard back was 
crickets.
