REPLY:
Perfectly normal. The default tones for RTTY in most transceivers and software
are 2125 and 2295 Hz. When you narrow down the receiver's filters, the white
noise falls into that range and that's what you are hearing - high pitched
white noise.
One alternative is to use lower frequencies if your transceiver and RTTY
software support them. Many hams use tones in the range of just above 1 kHz
which may be easier to listen to over a long period of time.
Consult your owner's manual to see if it possible with your present rig.
