Dale, As you have an IC-746 let HRD do the TX/RX via CAT control. Essentially you have 3 options for TX/RX: * VOX, * Let PSK31 Deluxe toggle a COM port pin, * Interface with HRD and let HRD do the work. I suggest you ask in the HRD forums or Yahoo! groups. FWIW the replacement for PSK31 Deluxe

Yes, I agree. The frequency would be where we were putting our RF energy - not what the dial on our radio said - and the maths that we do to get the energy at that particular frequency is our own business. For instance if I normally sit with the radio at 14070 USB and transmit at +1800Hz then we c
