[Elecraft] PSK31 on KX3/PX3 + ref/scale on PX3

[David Orman]

When using the PX3 panadapter, should I be attempting to select the center
of a psk31 communication on the waterfall, or picking the low end or high
end depending on band? My text decode has been variable so far, and I've
not been able to figure out why. Sometimes, I'm tuned at the center of the
transmission, and I get a lot of 'E' characters, sometimes I get full
decode. Sometimes I tune at the bottom of the transmission on 20m, and get
a clean decode, sometimes nothing. I haven't figured out what I'm doing
right/wrong that drives clean decoding.

I'm also unsure how to adjust ref/scale appropriately. If anybody has any
tips/rules of thumb, they would be very much appreciated. You'll have to
excuse my ignorance, I'm a new operator and have spent most of my time
building/working on new antennas. I'm just now getting around to optimizing
the transceiver side of things.

Thank you,
David
