Hi Rein,
I think that's a bit unfair :-) The NUE-PSK modem can never be a substitute for
PSKmail, it was designed for a completely different use of PSK and as such, it
works very well in its operation, I have 3 of them and have never had any
trouble. They run for many hours on 2 x 9v replaceable lithium batteries, long
after your Android phone has run its battery, flat :-)
Every product has its fair place in ham radio world, along with your PSKmail :-)
73,
Jack VK4JRC
