Dave,

Thank you for the answers and the one question.  Hopefully the brief 
description I have inserted below might answer your question about the mode.

The instructions for the modem that will be used also have similar
cautions about the power settings and go a little bit farther.

>>>What do you mean by "the modem"? PSK transmission and reception is
usually accomplished with a PC application and soundcard, though some
outboard modems do support PSK (e.g. the SCS PTC-IIe). In general, the
panoramic reception and broadband decoding offered by PC applications makes
PSK operation much easier.

The modem in use is the NUE-PSK modem.  According to the information on the 
web site, when using this modem it is possible to operate PSK31, and a few 
other modes, without having to connect the radio to a computer.  The modem 
also can be operated with battery power either two 9 volt or 8 AA 1.5 volt 
in a battery pack (or for earlier units, two 9 volt batteries inside the 
modem).  According to the web site, all that is required is a radio, an 
antenna, the modem and a keyboard.  Also required is the necessary power for 
these units which could be either from batteries, as in an emergency 
situation, or a generator for Field Day.


>>>Run PSK with your rig in USB or LSB, and follow-the above instructions to
set its power output level.
