[KYHAM] PSK31 and CW software

     Is there a program for CW just like the PSK31 programs ( freeware if 
possible) that has multiple receive windows? I have been looking at making 
some inexpensive measurement instruments and the cost of displays and such 
run up the bill by quite a bit. One option is to have the device send morse 
code. But many beginning students can't copy morse code and also the 
ability of logging the data is nice too.
     So one thought is to make instruments like the little QRP frequency 
counter that simply sends its results in CW. And have the computer read the 
result. Multiple instruments could be used at the same time in multiple 
windows, as long as each transmitted a different audio tone.  The class 
room could be filled with a good deal of QRM during experiments.
     I have considered PSK31 but I'd like the students to get used to 
hearing Morse Code. Perhaps it would help them get over the fear of 
learning it.
     I am brain storming here and about to have a headache.
