Of course the typo was mine originally. I have changed the title.

The Subject line should read GFSK, not GMSK. FT4 and FT8 use Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK), *not* Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK). The latter is yet another possible modulation scheme. -- Joe, K1JT On 7/17/2019 10:27 AM, Conrad PA5Y wrote: > Thanks both Bill and Joe, that is certainly a very worthwhile > improvement, thanks to the team for the effort!
