I got the 250 for eliminating loud PSK signals from wiping out weak

Hi Bill,
Recall my post from a few days ago about phase shift being the enemy of
signal decoders, and that filters built with real components (and most
digital domain filters) create phase shift in the passband. The steeper
the skirts, the greater the phase shift, and the more it extends into
the passband.
I don't work PSK31 and don't know about PSK31 decoders, but the authors
of other decoding software (WSJT-X, 2Tone) recommend that radios use
wide bandwidth and let the decoder reject off-frequency QRM. Heavy duty
RTTY guys like W0YK recommend 500 Hz for RTTY, and K1JT recommends the
full bandwidth of SSB channel. I follow their advice, and find it works
well for me.
