That explains the strange looking stuff I was seeing on my P3 
while working PSK on 20M. :-) What a pileup! (I'm continuing to 
try to fight my CW above 8 WPM so I can play in that ballpark.)

BTW, I normally run the P3 covering a wide span when running 
PSK, because I can see the detail on the computer waterfall and 
sometimes find a PSK station way outside the normal range with 
the P3.

Cheers - Bill
