PSK31, Olivia, and other digi modes DEPEND on stable signals on both ends. Old time boat anchors are not generally used on digi modes due to their drift and instability.

Maybe I'm missing something, but could someone explain to me why I need to fight a 20 Hz drift? Seems like you guys are brainstorming a lot of ways to spend excess money when my solution would be to turn the radio on a little earlier.
