I guess I can chime in here with my 2 bits. Why not use cw as the common communication mode. My computer, using MultiPSK, can read CW quite well. And I understand that morse code recognition actually uses very little of the computer's resources. It is relatively easy to add a function to a computer program... much easier than adding the same function to a 'conventional' transceiver. Ted Stone, WA2WQN
