What you say is true. But there is not ONE error-free mode using a
soundcard. Until that happens, none of the modes will ever equal Pactor for
reliable, error-free communications. And, most of the soundcard modes are
pitifully slow when compared to Pactor-II or-III.

The attraction of soundcard-based implementations is not simply reduced
expense, its also increased functionality:

- panoramic tuning via a waterfall or spectrum display

- the ability to decode multiple signals and extract relevant information
(e.g. callsigns)

- extensibility (PSKCORE source code is now available under the GPL license)
