Description: The NUE-PSK is a standalone, battery-operated digital modem using a Microchip dsPIC33F microcontroller. The project uses a single graphic display showing transmit and receive text data, band spectrum, and tuning indication. When coupled with an SSB-capable transceiver and a standard PS2 keyboard, the NUE-PSK Digital Modem forms an effective, compact, and portable station for working the digial modes on the amateur bands.

A good unit for portable/qrp psk
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I have been using the NUE-PSK modem with my FT817 for about a month now. It is an excellent way to operate psk portable. I have operated psk portable from a car with a laptop quite often; the NUE-PSK modem will make it much more convenient.
On the down side, it appears to me that the modem does not decode as rapidly as my laptop software--but this is not surprising. The documentation is pretty good but seems to neglect a discussion of some of the configuration settings. Homing in on signals is slower than the typical laptop software--but it works ok for qrp/portable.
A word of warning: The modem does not work well with keyboards that cut corners with the PS/2 protocols. For example, some flexible (roll-up) keyboards work and some don't. Cheaper is not better in this case.
Overall a very good unit for qrp/portable psk and well worth the money for someone who wants a mode other than cw for qrp operation.

Excellent Product

The NUE-PSK is a great tool to add to a field radio kit. This modem will decode some of the weakest signals. It was made, IMHO, as a companion for the FT-817 and other QRP rigs. I have been on the air now for a week since receiving my modem. Again, excellent tool.
