Hello Sverre! I have read the postings on the problem of having to set the AF gain as bands are changed with FSK and PSK31 modes, and I seem to recall that I have seen a product that automates this... Does anyone have a clue or a web-pointer to what this is? PSK Meter, see

I wrote a Linux program for the PSKMeter, and AA6E re-wrote it with a nice GUI, and I now use his. KF6VSG's site has some presentations on what the firmware does, and what the PC software does, and I used those and some email exchanges with George to write the Linux version. The firmware

hi Aki - absolutely right - for contest situations, it is especially useful to not have to worry about readjusting the radio when changing bands. But even for casual operating, its nice to be able to set the mode and go, without having to make adjustments. This past weekend, I operated the
