[Elecraft] PSK31 Deluxe v2.2 beta now available

[Peter Halpin]

Hi all,

The latest versions of PSK31 Deluxe and FT-817 Commander are now available.

*** PSK31 Deluxe

The changes made to PSK31 Deluxe are quite extensive, and one very useful
feature not found anywhere else has been added.

For FT817 users only (sniff!):

It is now possible to centre received signal anywhere in your filter's
passband: this means that you can re-tune your radio so that the received
signal can be put slap bang on the spot where your filter is most effective
(the "sweet spot"); or you can use a combination of  this feature and IF
shift to combat QRM. Those who have a narrow CW filter will find this very
useful indeed. Use the CENTRE toolbar to set up the centre frequency of your
filter. This seems to be 1500Hz for the standard SSB filter and also for the
CW filter. You then click on the green [C] square on the horizontal
waterfall to bring the selected signal to that point. This feature can only
be used in conjunction with an FT-817! There is a known bug here: if you
select DIG NAR you must first click on IPO and/or ATT before you can switch
back to wide DIG mode. This is being worked on.

Another area where changes have been made is the way in which text streams
in the SuperBrowser window can be used to save you a lot of typing: just
double-click on a text stream to see what happens.

You'll also find the Tags and Macros easier to use: quite a few changes have
been made here.

Both the SuperBrowser and QSO channel windows have independently
configurable toolbar settings. Most toolbars are not required for yse with
the SuperBrowser, so use TOOLS > OPTIONS (F8) > SUPERBROWSER 2 and check or
uncheck SAVE OWN TOOLBAR LAYOUT to use this function.

An extra function has been added to the TOOLS menu: a grid square and
distance/heading caculator.

QSO window contents can now be saved in .RTF format

There are really too many detail changes to list here: just try the program
for yourself.

Please report all bugs to Simon using the HELP > Send E-mail to HB9DRV
button.

And it goes without saying: FT-817 Commander and PSK31 Deluxe are FREEWARE:
by amateurs for amateurs.
