No, this is not true. The "crosshairs" or "crossed bananas", which
basically emulates using an oscilloscope for a tuning indicator, are the
same thing (and no, we are not talking about spectrum or waterfall
displays). It's just that in the good old days, the toroid filters
weren't all that sharp and the crossed lines (mark on horiz scope input
and space on vert input) ended up looking like bananas (ellipses) rather
than sharp lines.

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I thought that Wayne himself answered you.
I believe the gist of his response was that if you have the sound card
in use decoding rtty, you cannot simultaneously use the scope emulation
(for lack of a better term) mode. If, on the other hand, you turn on the
scope emulator first, you can NOT use the sound card to decode rtty...
