RTTY is less particular about frequency and fldigi has AFC to follow
drifts. I've not noticed the AFC on PSK and so far I've not copied any
Olivia. We've been running RTTY with analogue radios for 40 or so years
HF RTTY has been a legal mode. Worked good enough. PSK and Olivia are
probably more picky and may demand the stability of the synthesized VFO
in the Omni V and later.
