No there is nothing wrong...what you found was a poorly setup transmitting
station.  If you were to watch his IMD when he idles with no characters sent
you would have seen a very poor IMD figure....chances are his signal was
very wide on the waterfall also.  He is overdriving his radio and causing
such a wide signal and distortion that he is actually splattering.  I've
helped out a couple hams that didn't realize they were doing this.....a good
clean PSK31 signal on the waterfall should be clean and less than 50 Hz
wide...anymore and they defeat the purpose of the mode.
