[Elecraft] PSK D Mode and random characters in received window...

[Lyle Johnson]

Michael,

Threshold is not used in the present DSP firmware for PSK D mode.

Squelch is applied to the audio after the PSK detector, so it also has 
no effect.

Thanks you for these reminders, I'll look at improving this in the DSP 
firmware.
