and set up shortwave stereo!)

Two comments from me:

===>  "PSK500R"
Sending PSK as AM modulation is less of a problem, but demodulation in 
AM should be avoided!
I recommend separate demodulation in USB and LSB, ideally from an IQ 
recording.
In the case of the AM sum signal (left+right), there is often a 
destructive phase overlap and decoding problems.



===>  "Comb stereo"   [Australian sound mastering, for a program from 
Canada, via a US broadcaster]
Here is the latest Comb Stereo encoder / decoder as an audio sample:
