If PSK is successfully using 3580 to 3584, then perhaps it should
stay there. It would be natural for RTTY and the other digital modes
to operate between 3584 and 3600.
We should respect the 3560 QRP calling frequency.

leave PSK31 activity where it is now! 3525-3600 is open for CW, Data,
and RTTY by FCC R&O for all license classes, and there is no reason
for PSK31 on 3580-3583 to move, nor for W1AW CW code practice on
3581.5 to move, just because you say it should.

architecture of the Warbler transceiver. You can do this by going to
www.smallwonderlabs.com and clicking on the PSK31 button and then the
Warbler picture, or Google for PSK-80 Warbler and look at the
schematic. The PSK-80 Warbler is a very inexpensive, unique, very
popular, design that uses 5 colorburst crystals for all filtering and
the only other available choice is to use 3686.4 microprocessor
crystals which would put it in the new phone segment. In other words,
it is not practical to "re-crystal" the Warblers, as it would take
over $60 of custom crystals, which cost more then the entire $50
Warbler. The Warbler is affordable at $50, but not at $100.
