CW text decode question

[dennis rosenbalm]

I have the K3 and KX3. I want to practice sending code with an old bug I haven't used in years.
To verify that what I am sending is half way accurate my idea was to put either radio's transmitter in "TEST" and enable cw decode mode. Will either radio decode cw not sent with the internal keyer? If it will not, can anyone suggest a code reader that will do what I want? The device doesn't need to display multiple lines of text, just a few words will do. Thanks in advance.

Put the K3 into TX TEST (Hold right side of MODE button).
On the KX3, turn the power to zero.

You can also use the KX3 utility to decode sent text ( need to use command mode to set up) as it will display long strings of text.
