[Elecraft] PSK-D Mode

I made a few PSK31 QSO's today sending in DATA-A mode.

However, I like the apparent benefit to PSK-D mode where there is no need to watch ALC levels.

I use FSK-D for RTTY which works very well with no need to watch audio levels.


In PSK-D, I can Key and send PSK. In the monitor I hear what sounds like PSK being sent and the wattmeter shows full 
quivering
power out.
However, no one responds to me. I did a test with one station switching back and forth between Data-A and PSK-D to prove
the point.
I don't know were the signal is going in PSK-D. It's apparently not on my receive frequency or its not PSK31.

Firmware is 3.19 and software is DX4WIN using its PSK31 window.

Maybe I don't understand the purpose of PSK-D.
