[600MRG] Newbie

[Merv Schweigert]

The FCC form problem I ran into was due to bandwidths,  it would not 
allow you
to put in any width that was not the "normal" for that mode, IE:   62hz 
for PSK31
Not sure what MSK16 requires,  MSK31 is 62hz also,  when putting in the 
proper
bandwidth the field then populated with the proper emission.. like msk31 =
62HOG1D  popped up.   A1A= 150HA1A  etc

Good advice to study the emissions designators,  they have to be the 
correct bandwidth.
