I find Multipsk easy to use , although ALE400 is more complicated than other modes in Multipsk. However, many hams that I introduce to digital modes , via demos, are taken aback by Multipsk, they find it too intimidating. FL-digi seems to be gaining ground because it is perceived as easier to operate with .
