Many good points Ed, thanks for taking the time to write your comments. I would like to add that an overlooked application is Winwarbler. Winwarbler only does RTTY (AFSK and FSK) plus BPSK and QPSK 31,63, and 125, but it has in my opinion the best features. It's multi-decoding capabilities and layout are superb. When intergrated with DX keeper and Spotcollector, it is peerless.
