The general rule is, for carrier-type modes such as RTTY and AM, have
it fast. For pulse type modes such as SSB and CW, slow.
With one exception: In a pileup with tons of signals at all different
levels, have it fast if your ears can stand it. You will have a
better chance of hearing the DX buried down deep.
