Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Olivia vs. RTTY vs. PSK & spectrum efficiency
Just because a mode is better doesn't mean that people will want to use it,
though, and I guess both RTTY and PSK31 are so established now that you'll
never
persuade people to give them up.

While rtty can be replaced by other modes, they will not run on the 50 plus old
mechanical printers and the demodulators that go with them. Just as some like
to run AM on the ham bands. Not that good of a use of bandwidth, but just
something to play with that many enjoy. I doubt that many hams that run the
digital modes can really type very fast and depend on the micros in the
programs. For the ones doing it in real time, psk31 probably has enough speed.
