To clarify, once I have the PSK signal identified, I narrow the 
selectivity to 50Hz and, if necessary, manually use 1 Hz fine tuning 
after AutoSPOT.  I find AutoSPOT usually does just fine, though it might 
take 2 or 3 presses of the button to get it just right.  WIDTH and QRM 
dictate what needs ot be done, and experience using it will tell you 
what steps to take.

The K3 PSK decoder is not a wideband, waterfall-style decoder. It will 
only work properly if there is one and only one signal in the passband.
