Ron, Take a look at http://www.psb-info.net/ You can see the proposed PSB (print strength bandwidth) or RSQ (readability strength quality) are a compact way of describing a PSK31 signal. The respective reporting tables are at. http://www.psb-info.net/Reporting-Table.html http://www.psb-info.net/RSQ-Reporting-Table.html I use these schemes when reporting but often avoid calling it PSB or RSQ to avoid lengthy explanations or the sending of URLs . Although, I accept that giving that qualifying information could be useful to the receiving operator. If I receive a "579" or a "339", for example, I have a pretty good idea how my signal is being received. If the third digit is not a "9" then I will ask for more information on the IMD etc. Alan VA3STL K2 #2674 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
