I'm not really sure what advantages there are to using PSK D or FSK D.
Having to receive PSK by accurately tuning in a signal instead of clicking
on a waterfall is not a usability improvement, and the sound card decoders
do a better job of decoding weak PSK signals than the one in the K3. RTTY
may be better - I haven't really tried it.

Most people who have a computer connected to the radio have the use of a
sound card, so the only reason for trying this would seem to be "because you
can."

If Elecraft provides a way to read the decoded text into the software at the
same time as using CAT then I will support it in KComm. But I can't see that
I would ever use it in preference to a sound card.
