It would certainly have made a QSO with 'TI9DX' this morning who was 
jamming the VP6DX Dxpedition on 7002 and not complained (the chap was 
heard to accidentally send UA3... once before realising he was meant 
to be somewhere else...!). Not sure what it would have done with the 
chap who was sending 'PIRATE' or other obscenities... And it would 
have worked out that the real VP6 was listening 25kHz HF +/- pileup 
and set the transceiver spit controls correctly before choosing a 
good TX frequency...

My experience of any sort of CW reader is that they are way behind 
the human ear and it is very frustrating sometimes to watch them. But 
the one in the Elecraft K3 which Rich G4ZFE (9M2CNC) was showing me 
last week seemed to do a reasonable job. The delay between you 
copying each letter in your head and it appearing on the dispay 
(almost a second) is rather offputting though...
