Hope I can reply from "digest mode"... From: Frank MacDonell <[email protected]>
"My K3 works well for CW at 5 watts but it seems I cannot get through to stations using PSK 31. Is there a minimum power level suggested for PSK31? Can you run QRP for Olivia? Thanks everybody!" -- Frank KD8FIP I've noticed the same thing (with my K2). I can easily make QRP contacts in CW, but don't have the same result with PSK or Olivia. I fire up an old FT-757 for that purpose and run 30 watts or so, even though PSK is known for its low-power capability. My pure speculation is that the brighter trace from higher power attracts more replies, even though the weaker trace from QRP is perfectly readable.
