Those new modes are helpful for those that want to give digital a go, but are not proficient at typing. I'm still happy with PSK31 and having a conversation. Fortunately, I can type fast enough and edit any typing errors on the fly just before it's transmitted.
Since FT8 was released, I can't even find any PSK31 to monitor. Hoping that Wolphi comes up with a new format addition to his really nice Android Apps so I can use my tablet and phone again. Wolphi, we need FT8 please, and thank you.
