[Elecraft] K2 and PSK

[Curt Milton]

Jim

PSK is an enjoyable change of pace, and an effective
mode for low power/modest antenna operation.  It is a
great conversational mode (and to boot one can listen
to music while having QSO's!).  

Since processing is done in the PC, you generally want
to give the PC the full audio passband - meaning you
use your widest filter to see as much spectrum as
possible on the waterfall screen.  So you will use the
wide SSB filter that comes on the KSB2 and bypass the
audio filtering.  

Frequency diversity is a good thing for PSK as well -
the last few days there has been PSK activity on 20,
30, 40 and 80m.  

Hint -- there is an app note on the Elecraft site for
wiring up your own PSK interface.
