I don't know if that would lead to a displacement of PSK31 so
much as it would an accomodation of other activities that PSK31
doesn't do well.  I mean, the lack of error detection/correction
and inability to convey files doesn't seem to bother the kind of
people who make up the majority of PSK31 users now.  Nor does
simplex.  BTW I enjoy MFSK-16 when I can find it on the air, but
the ability to send pictures is not a selling point to me.  I
don't have any pictures I want to send, and I'm almost never
interested in the pictures people want to send me.
