This would be a general definition that perhaps not everyone could fully agree on:

Too Wide: takes up too much spectrum bandwidth for the amount of information delivered or the speed of the information's delivery.

Rick, academically you are right. But the question/poll is about "keyboard" modes mental limit. For me the limit somewhere around rtty45 bw. Olivia 500 too wide, mfsk16 somewhere on the limit.

The psk31 is de facto standard. I think good idea to measure/evaluate things with this standard.

MFSK modes are undervalued but not in every case. For good or moderate propagation psk31 is the best (not academically). But for poor/disturbed propagation and in higher latitudes there are better modes. We can use many mfsk modes with different bw and tones. From standard user viewpoint - more is less. RSID, Video ID are good things. But we need de-facto mfsk-standard like psk31 to fire psk-folk in case of poor/disturbed propagation to switch mode. This is strategical/promotional BIG step. IMO Contestia 250/4 (or /8?) is enough good bw/speed compromise to take de facto mfsk-standard role. There are better modes/formats from speed viewpoint DominoEX11, MFSK16 or from snr viewpoint 250/16:
So what mean "too wide mode" mentally?

Poor or disturbed propagation constrains all of us into fewer bands for digital operations. With fewer sunspots, we all crowd the same bands which makes the "too wide" problem worse. Some modes are very narrow and are spectrum efficient but have little error correction. Others are "too wide" but have lots or error correction and are fast. As you very well know, these are the tradeoffs we all face.

This definition might cause a bit of a "Food Fight" here on this reflector but hopefully . . . not.

Hi

Sometimes we hear, that mode or format is "too wide". What this mean?
Context - poor or disturbed propagation.
Please answer. Your answer help to see how different people understand
the term "too wide".
