Hi Simon. I have one pledge. Would you please integrate the ATS-3b interface into your digital modes software? ATS-3b is a transceiver fitting into Altoids tin, which supports generating of BPSK and MFSK signals with its DDS. TX is controlled with special protocol over sound card. It should not be difficult to integrate it into your software, it would only make your TX code a bit less readable. The code is available in PocketDigi.
http://www.kufr.cz/~ok1iak/HAM/ATS3a-digital/index.php3 I am asking for it because right now only PocketDigi supports this interface. Although PocketDigi runs on desktop, it was developed primarily for Pocket PC and it is very rudimentary. Also I hope (maybe blindly) that the concept of DDS generated digital modes will be adapted by other QRP kits one day. With the class-D PA and circuit simplicity it should be tempting to design a digital modes transceiver for battery operation, for example for the EMCOM folks.
