1. Have to keep an eye on your ALC at all times to make sure you don't over 
modulate.2. On some radios, you can't use special CW/FSK filters on receive.3. 
On some radios, you can't use Twin Peak Filters (TPF).4. Will have to tune 2.1 
kHz from nearly all packet spots to find the station spotted.5. Spots you send 
to the Packetcluster will be off by 2.1 kHz for most everyone else.
That's about it I think.
What is the advantage of FSK?
1. You don't have to worry about 1-5 above.

After 3 days of building and re-building a FSK interface between my USB 
laptop and my Kenwood TS-480 and not getting Windows 10 to recognize my 
USB to Serial adapters, I have given up.

Besides what is so bad about running AFSK for all this contesting?


I would like to know.
