[Elecraft] Digimodes what am I missing?

[alsopb]

Please define effective.  This is a hobby.

Except for Emergency communications, missing a character or two doesn't 
mean squat.  For contests, digital error correcting protocols are 
non-starters.  For pileups, I doubt any error correcting protocol will 
be of use.
