Thanks. I Moved over to gMFSK, and it's working for me. I had enjoyed
the colored waterfall in the KPSK, which has color coding for signal
strength, but it really seems unnessary, and I probably just liked the 
aesthetics ;-)

Another stupidity on my part: I don't have an interface yet, and so
not really transmitting into the dummy load, and so, of course, no
signal strength.

Thanx from something who is doing more stumbling about than thinking.
