[RTTY] FT920 as RTTY radio

[k8sm at windstream.net]

After a 13 year absence from RTTY I am back and I'm using the FT-920.  I started out using AFSK, but have since moved to using FSK, and I will never go back to AFSK.  I enjoy the FT-920 on RTTY using MMTTY, and I use Writelog for contesting.  I like being able to use the DSP and CW filter while using FSK (DATA-LSB).  We are also using the rig control.  The only other digital mode that I've tried with the 920 is BSPK31, and it works fine with TrueTTY.
