Me too. I gave up on DarwinPSK because of transmit issues - the output
sounded terrible.  I don't recall anyone, other than Volker (the father of
LynPSK), saying they ever made a two-way QSO with DarwinPSK.  The interface
to the Mac and my TS-450 were too hard and I would have had to ditch the old
trusty PK-232.  The PK-232 has worked RTTY DXCC and the Mac will go before I
ditch the PK-232.

I have not tried the new and improved Multimode. Per Chris' description it
sounds very like it may be the way to go.
