and you find examples of that 160 almost every day.  I work
a lot of PSK both on Mars and the Amateur bands and your
statement that "all the PSK users whining
constantly about people running more than 20 watts. " is not
quite accurate.  In fact what you really see is someone not
experienced enough to use receiving filters and narrowing
their bandwidth and the difference in signal strength is a
function of propagation rather than transmitting power>>>


Nothing wrong with selling the narrow bandwidth aspect, as
long as everyone understands the dynamic range of
transmitters is often very poor and that PSK should not be
stacked up against weak signal operation.
