The claim was made that Olivia and MFSK16 are better than PSK for ragchewing. The point of my response was not that these modes are bad -- it was that these modes have characteristics that make them less appealing than PSK for most ops. Panoramic reception makes it easy to quickly find an

It is possible without much skill or cunning to work split audio frequencies in BPSK. MixW does it quite well once someone showed me how. I run across DX stations occasionally that transmit at one point on the waterfall and listen at another. Split RF frequencies are another matter and I agree why
