Hello Bill,

No.. and I just checked the current 1.4-Dev branch which shows:
--
direwolf-git/direwolf$ git log | grep -i psk
Add 2400 & 4800 PSK modems. New functions to handle frames besides UI.

To your other point, Direwolf's 2400BAUD QPSK can use the regular
pre-emphasized audio connections but the 480BAUD QPSK signal requires a
direct-discriminator connection. In playing with it, I found that the
4800BAUD signal is quite robust and noise tolerant compared to the G3RUH
FSK signal.
Anyway.. I've emailed WB2OSZ about maybe adding this mode some day to
add interop with UZ7HO's soundmodem. With 3x the speed increase on the
existing radio hardware, that would be a nice improvement.
