[Ham-Mac] CW Practice

[Richard Hemingway]

Hi Elwood,
I am trying CocaModem first.  I have a side tone and have set 
CocaModem to Wideband CW, and the input to built in line input (I 
also tried setting system preferences to built in line input). I can 
hear the sidetone in my earphones (I have break-in off in the radio), 
however I don't see a vertical yellow area on the waterfall.  What am 
I doing wrong?

73,
