Once upon a time it was recommended that FSK441 and JT65 should use a 44.1kHz

Hi Conrad,

it is not so much the modes but the application used.

WSJT uses an 11025 Hz base rate so 44100 Hz sample rate is appropriate as that divides down without fractional remainders.

WSJT-X uses a 12000 Hz base rate so 48000 Hz, 96000Hz, or 192000 Hz are all suitable for the for the same reason.

Using 44100 Hz with WSJT-X or 48000 Hz with WSJT will work (I think - definitely for WSJT-X) but there will be small rounding errors in the sample rate conversion which equate to noise or other distortion and you don't want that when you are interested in the weakest signals.
