REPLY:
I operated two contests using the MMTTY AA6YQ FIR512 dual peak filter
and I got the impression it was not copying as well when two or more
signals were present. I asked Dave about it and he agreed - it works
best when only one signal is present, such as in DXing or ragchewing.
>>>The "AA6YQ FIR512" profile uses MMTTY's Bandpass and Notch filters to
approximate a matched filter, with the goal of optimizing weak signal
decoding (and getting to know MMTTY's DSP engine). I used Moe AE4JY's
Pathsim and Alex VE3NEA's "RTTY Compare" to determine the optimal filter
shape.
>>>After discussing this with Mako-san JE3HHT, he added a dedicated dual
peak filter to MMTTY 1.68a that provides this filter shape. Since it's is an
approximation of a matched filter rather than an actual matched filter,
further improvements to MMTTY's weak signal decoding are likely possible.

Dave, AA6YQ
