Bert, Don. Thank you. Perfect guidance for me. I was missing the CWT enable via the menu and the rotation of VFO knob B to select THR 1. I was confused that CWT was on for PSK without having to take an extra step to turn it on but not for CW. Thanks for the CW auto tune tip. I am quite happy with the decode quality. Would be cool if you could temporarily switch the entire screen to display decoded text, if you turn away for a brief moment you'll miss the decode. Connected a PC with the USB cable and decoded text displayed fine. I have a small OLED display and an Arduino, maybe I'll build an extended decode window.
