* IFKP help: http://www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/beta-help/ifkp_page.html

I suggest using these calling frequencies when testing IFKP

* 30 meters, 10.143, +1500 Hz on waterfall
* 20 meters, 14.068, + 1500 Hz on waterfall

bandwidth.
- multiple image transfer formats similar to FSQ
. Avatar (57x74 WxH pixel) image transfers
- tunable modem subcarrier (center freq)
. may be configured fixed at 1500 Hz or
. set to Psk sweet spot
- raw data received written to audit log - if enabled
- heard list entries written to heard log - if enbled

Macros
