In the recent discussion of allocations and band segmentation, someone seemed to be suggesting that PSK31 was a broadband mode. When I look at signals on my PSK31 software, they seem rather narrow ba

Hello Jim. No, you are right, PSK31 signals are inherently narrow, unless the modulation stage of the radio is been overdriven, PSK31 signals width will be only about 100 Hz, when properly adjusted a

Thanks, Tom. That makes sense. So it really isn't any different from the massive distortion we hear during SSB contests when lousy operators (and lousy technicians) shove way too much audio from thei

Jim, Be careful when running the sound card at full output. The amplifier in many cards is marginal at full output and will generate IMD and/or other spurious outputs before the PSK (or RTTY, MFSK, e

Seems like another useful thing to do would be to run your VFO low in frequency relative to the station you are trying to work so that the audio tones coming from your soundcard out are all high rela

It is entirely possible to generate PSK signal that has a constant envelope. You simply hold the amplitude constant and rotate the phase 180 degrees, instead of holding the phase constant and rampin

While its entirely possible to do what you describe, Rick, I think you pay a big bandwidth penalty when you slew the phase of the carrier while it is on. I am not entirely familiar with the PSK31 spe

Your point is well taken. I just looked at the output of the computer running full gain from the PSK software. The third harmonic (the strongest spur) is 24 dB below the fundamental. Not hard clippin

You're both right. The RRC filter does limit occupied bandwidth at the transmitter and limits noise bandwidth at the receiver, and does it (as you describe) in a way that does not introduce harmful I
