RiTTY by K6STI gets my vote.  I have run Brian's program side by
side with many others including TNCs, and it was always the best
at digging weak signals out of the noise.  

It does have a few drawbacks, though:

1.  $$$.  Ain't free.  Ain't even cheap.
2.  Requires a genuine Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 ISA sound
card.  PCI will not do, nor will other makes or brands.  You
usually can find them on ebay for $10-15 or so.
3.  Runs under DOS, either standalone DOS or full-screen mode
under Windows.  I have run it under Win95, 98 and XP and it runs
perfectly.  It will not run in a Windows "DOS box".  Full screen
mode only.

But if you're willing to go to that trouble, you will have the
best RTTY soundcard program in existence.
