[Elecraft] P3SVGA data RTTY FSK D

[Rick Prather]

Jim,

I like your scheme for assigning macros.  I think I'll go back and set them up like that.

Something I've learned over the last year or so on PSK is if you use a fairly narrow filter (400 or less) you can often let the "Spot" function zero in signals that are of decent strength.
