Unfortunately the demonstrations are not accurate representations of real world conditions. The EXTFSK64 tests were done on a six core, 3 GHz CPU with less than 40% CPU load. The "low end" laptop with ETFSK was not faced with anywhere near the CPU load exhibited in most RTTY contest situations.

This is a bit of a cross post related to Elecraft K3/K3S internal FSK timings generated with a USB FDTI chipset com port. I wanted to get some hard measured numbers in a video so I took the time to make the following two videos. Sorry if you are subscribed to multiple lists and get a duplicate or
