It does not matter how good the demodulator is if you cannot *accurately*
and *quickly* tune an RTTY signal in.  Except for clicking on a waterfall,
the crossed ellipse is  one of the few indicators that can do *both* well if
you are tuning  with a VFO knob.

>>>If you're running a soundcard RTTY engine and a hardware modem in
parallel -- you can get close by clicking on the waterfall and then fine
tune with the XY display, or let the soundcard RTTY engine's AFC lock on the
signal and then click a button that QSYs your transceiver to put the
hardware modem dead on frequency.
