Duane, I use high tones on my 756PRO and can use 350 BW TPF, 350 BW 
flat-top, or any other BW in the RTTY mode. If you are not using high tones 
with one of the special RTTY filters (the pushbutton along the left side of 
the display) you also cannot get RTTY decoding on the PRO screen. It all 
works for me AOK. Maybe you are using AFSK and one of the SSB modes??

The TPF (twin peak filters, I assume) is pretty nice. I use the TPF for 
almost everything RTTY.
