Old winpsk 1.2

Old WinPSK Program

(Version 1.2 4-14-00)

This is the last version of WinPSK that will not use the new PSKCore DLL. It may still be of some interest since the source code for low level DSP functions is available.

WinPSK evolved while experimenting with DSP on a PC soundcard. This program was not intended to be a full-featured program for serious PSK31 use, but rather as a learning tool for those interested in the "inner workings" of a functional PSK31 program. This program, it's source code, and a companion document "WinPSK Technical Reference Manual", should be of some use for someone who wants to improve upon and create a full featured version.

The program is free. This version will no longer be supported in any way now that version 2.0 is available.

The file WinPSK12.zip (499K) contains all the files needed to run the WinPSK program as well as online help. All the files should be placed in the same directory, (C:\mydirectory\) for example. No setup program needs to be run.

The file WinPSKTech10.PDF (334K) is a technical reference manual that discusses many of the design details of the program.

The Visual C++ 6.0 project source code for WinPSK is here WinPSKsrc12.zip (110K). This code is now released as public domain software with absolutely no support or warranty of any kind.

A Spanish Version of WinPSK WinPSK-es.zip (461K) is now available thanks to the hard work of Paulí Núñez, EA3BLQ and EB5HDT.
