Re: [Elecraft] Power Required for PSK 31 and Olivia

Frank, 5 Watts should be plenty of PSK contacts. Do you have a second receiver you can monitor your PSK31 on? It may be that you're not getting a signal out at all, or it may be either overdriven and distorted, or possibly suffering from RF feedback, or in some other way uncopyable. Leigh/WA5ZNU

My K3 works well for CW at 5 watts but it seems I cannot get through to stations using PSK 31... Be sure you are using DATA A and not DATA PSK D mode if you are using a soundcard for PSK31 operation. 73, Lyle KK7P __ Elecraft
