PSK31 tips

A very interesting article on ARRL website by Frank K2NCC about 10 tips for the PSK31 digital mode: "There's more to going over the waterfall than just having a good barrel". For example:

* Use the center of your waterfall display.

* There's no need to have the waterfall streaking bright red.

* Use UPPER CASE characters sparingly.

* Enable your RF attenuation and increase the volume.

DM780 supports PSK, QPSK, CQ, MCW, DominoEx, MFSK, MT63, Olivia, RTTY and Throb; it is fully customizable, integrated with Ham Radio Deluxe for radio control, logbook with eQSL, ADIF, Cabrillo, Callsign Lookupo and Google Earth interfaces and FREE !
