Hello Everyone,
I've just been reading all the controversial comments about
transmitting PSK in upper case or lower case, speed of delivery and
losing text in conditions which are far from being good.
If your daily newspaper was printed entirely in upper case letters,
people would stop buying
I find that some ops use upper case for callsigns and the first letter of
names and lower case for the rest. I also upper case CQ, prosigns etc. That
provides for a good tradeoff between speed and readability. Converting all
to lower case is reducing the information content of the transmission.

I had that in the back of my mind too. What is with all this thinking on
speed these days. People want faster digital, faster cw, even faster
OK,
That's a fair point - maybe in my stuff I should add the option of always
sending in lowercase, and displaying text to be sent in uppercase.

Well lets see with me, bad eye sight makes it easier to read. I am a
old RTTY operator when there was no such thing as lower case letters
on a keyboard (love the smell of oiled paper). Sometimes it is just
easier then looking for the shift key.

You are assuming that speed is what people want. Perhaps that
assumption is wrong.

i have often thought that a caps lock mode would be nice. echoes
locally in caps but sends out in lowercase. then add the same feature
on the RX side to uppercase all the text that you receive, if you like
that green-keys feel.
if you "speed enhancer" on the transmit side, people might turn i
Certainly ! And I speak for myselfthe easy move is to use shift lock...
the clever move is to increase the font size...
Thanks for the reminder, Simon.

Hi Simon,
Here are my observations:
1. Many operators are familiar with RTTY and enjoy seeing Upper Case
for QSOs.
2. On PSK31, when decoding err
