Hello Joe. I have used three Linux PSK31 programs and find that they are all rather basic in operation, although they work well. None of them have all the "bells and whistles" which the Windows programs Digipan, or my favourite PSK program which is PSK-PAL, have. With SuSE Linux, there is GPSK - but it hasn't a waterfall. Another which I have tried, LinPSK has a waterfall as has TWPSK . But this has the least facilities of the three. So I am afraid that it is a case of trying them. I haven't installed it yet, but I have heard that a program called KPSK is a very good one. As soon as my SuSE7.1 arrives and is installed, I am going to try KPSK. Unfortunately I can't be of any more help. 73 de Keith G4JVX

Joe, check out KPSK by the guys at 1409.org. The page is http://www.1409.org/projects/kpsk/index.html I have not tried it myself, but it sure looks purdy... On Sun, 4 Mar 2001, joe lerch wrote:
