[Elecraft] K3 psk D splater

[dmoes at nexicom.net]

 Last evening I was trying another aspect of my K3    I often work PSK 
using AFSK but I thought Id give it a try using PSK-D using Kcomm

I set everyting and it was decoding fine on the K3 display and in 
Kcomm.    There was a strong station that was calling CQ so i gave him 
a call   while having a good QSO he mentioned that I was splattering a 
bit and I should not drive as hard.     rather than explaining that I 
wasnt using AFSK  I just quickly said thanks Ill look into it and 73.  
   Question, What can cause splatter when using PSK-D  I had the power 
dialed to  25W so I certainly wasn.t running to much power,  and just 
to be sure that I was actually using PSK -d I had pulled the audio 
line in/out from the K3. Am I missing something?   I will be trying 
again hooking my other rig up to another computer so that I can 
monitor my output in Fldigi, just in case he was seeing issues at his 
end.
