Joe,

Is there any logic for transmitting CW using SSB Audio vs CW Keying?

Personally, I'd like to see WSJT transmit CW using a key. This way the rig 
does not have to be put in split SSB/CW mode for receiving CW signals. I 
suppose it doesn't matter as I have to use another rig for receiving CW. 
The DSP-10 does a much better job than the IC746 for reception of CW.

One other question.  What is WSJT actually doing when it tries to decode CW?
