That does make me wonder. I have always assumed that RTTY ops used a
speaker or earphones to find a signal and then some kind of tuning
indicator to fine tune it, but I don't have any data.

So I'm going to get some data. I will pose the question on the RTTY
reflector and get back to you. 

As I said before however, the issue of aural or not is not germane tot
this discussion because other signals, CW, RTTY or anything else are
clearly visible on the tuning indicator. But I'm curious anyway.
