I have had good results by keeping the power down with PSK-31, but not such good results with RTTY. Most of my RTTY is in DX pileups and my results seem better if I run the transceiver a bit harder and drive my amp to 300 watts or so, but my experience is very limited. I am using you DM 780 with an ACER Aspire 5610Z computer running Vista.
Thanks for a very nice suite of programs.
