REPLY:
I have a second computer with an audio spectrum display which also automatically
displays the shift numerically, and I have observed that somewhere around five
percent of stations are using 200 Hz shift. That figure of five percent is just
an estimate - it could be a bit more or a bit less, but it is definitely not
zero. FWIW.
I have not compared MMTTY against the PK-232, but I have run it side by side
against a KAM and MMTTY wins hands down when signals are weak and/or covered by
QRM and QRN. I suspect the same would be true of the PK-232. If anyone has
actually run them side by side, I'd be interested to hear the results.
