[digitalradio] MT63 is NOT spread spectrum!

MT63 is PSK, and if you go to this link http://f1ult.free.fr/DIGIMODES/MULTIPSK/MT63_en.htm you can see how the carriers are fixed in frequency and not random in frequency. In fact, the description of MT63 is, DBPSK on 64 carrier tones. The tones are separated by 7.81 Hz for the 500 Hz
