I run RTTY (FSK) with my Omni VI+ and it does great.  I prefer FSK
because I don't have to horse around with disconnecting either the RTTY
or microphone when in the other mode.  It works great for me with my
KAM-Plus.  I'm not that keen about my software (KaWin) which does allow
dual port mode on the KAM, but I'd rather my logging software (DX4WIN)
used it in dual port mode so I could check spots against the log while
running RTTY.  I also use my Centurion amp with the Omni on RTTY, and
it's a very smooth setup.  The Centurion is a really nice amp!  I have
only an HF2V vertical for 80m and 40m, and a G5RV Jr. for the other
bands, and I'm at 93 worked on RTTY after about 1.5 years of very casual
operation on RTTY.  (20 cards short of 5BDXCC also, but that's another
story...)
