[Elecraft] PSK-D Feature request

[Peter Eijlander (PA0PJE)]

The problem is the terminology, John.
In this case "FSK" and "PSK" should have been read as "ASCII" and 
"Morse code". The translation from "ASCII" to "Varicode" to "PSK" and 
vice versa as well as "ASCII etc" first to "5 bit Baudot" and then to 
"FSK" is done by software in the radio itself, as opposed to software 
running on a computer and processing audio going to and from a radio.

The second missing link is that FSK means simply a shifting carrier on a 
given frequency with a given offset in the frequency domain.
FSK can be amplified with whatever class used, PSK however is a single 
frequency which' phase is reversed in time hence amplitude driven and 
must be amplified linearly, something not understood by some operators 
who produce broad sigs with PSK, because the output meter is driven far 
too high or the input of their TX is already clipping.

Just my two cents...
HNY to you all,
Peter
