Where did the idea that FSK is more difficult come from? FSK requires no setting of transmit audio levels or concerns about sound card settings - for transmission.
To me, this cuts the difficulty in half. Using a RigExpert or MicroHam (or their equivalent) Interface it's basically automatic and requires no fiddling with levels. 100% FSK RTTY here. Zero problems. 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2010 6:37 AM To: Brett Howard Cc: elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] MMTTY FSK Fair enough.
