A couple of years ago a VE did some side by side and published the 
results on a web page somewhere.

I think if you installed fldigi and did your own testing, you would have 
a better concept.

The vast majority of fldigi users are on AFSK.

Keep in mind with the addition of an inexpensive sound card fldigi will 
also allow SO2R.

Depending on the radio, a seperate PTT is not needed. I have both a 
Omni6 and a FT-450 that use software PTT.

Also keep in mind that fldigi is bridged to N1MM thanks to Rick N2AMG's 
work.

fldigi is solid as a rock in Linux and for the most part M$. OS-X seems 
to be our problem child. But thanks to a couple of very savy users most 
OS-X problems get solved.

The psuedo keying will also allow QSK CW.
