How does signal strength relate to bandwidth?
Let's say I have a 25 W transmitter. First I transmit some SSB signal with 2500 Hz bandwidth (no audio compressor is used, etc...). Then I transmit a BPSK31 signal with at most 100 Hz bandwidth using the same power.
Is it accurate to say that…

Filtering for PSK31 demodulation
What's the ideal filter for PSK31 demodulation? That is, something that minimizes ISI, while having a narrow bandwidth to reject adjacent channels, while being reasonably matched?
Most PSK modes use a root raised cosine pulse shape, thus the…

Is the error rate for QPSK31 in a white noise channel worse than BPSK31?
I've read in a couple sources that in a channel consisting of only additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), at low SNR, QPSK31 is actually worse than BPSK31.

How long are the PSK31 preamble and postamble?
The PSK31 specification by ARRL specifies:
There is a preamble at the start of each transmission and a postamble at the end. The preamble is an idle signal of continuous zeroes, corresponding to continuous phase reversals at the symbol rate of…

Can an SSB transmitter be used to transmit PSK?
Can a generic/typical analog SSB transmitter be used to send PSK modulated digital signals?
If so, how does that work?
How is a computer or DSP interfaced with an SSB transmitter? Line level audio to microphone input? Or some other form of…

What is "allied mode" with regards to PSK31?
Wikipedia says:
Colloquial usage of the term 'PSK31' in amateur radio usually implies
the use of the most commonly used variant of PSK31: binary phase shift
keying (BPSK). BPSK uses no error control, but an allied mode, QPSK31
quadrature phase…

Transmission distance of PSK31 on various HF band
Would appreciate insight on efficiency of PSK31 on various HF band.
Would 300 to 1000 km generally achievable if suitable band are chosen, according to day night and sun spot cycle using low power QRP and simple 3 meters vertical antenna?
Please…
