Phase shift is greatest where amplitude response is changing rapidly -- that is, at the skirts. Mostly we decode PSK near the center of the passband. Also, PSK is quite narrowband, so the phase shift over the relatively narrow bandwidth is generally minimal. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
