[RTTY] 75 Baud

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

How does the lack of  an adaptive speed decoder make any difference?

On CW, you hear the speed difference and mentally shift to a faster decoding 
schema.

On RTTY, you hear the speed difference and click a button, 45 or 75. This is 
no different than differentiating a USB or LSB signal and selecting the 
right button.

But here's another thought... if the future brought a lot of multiple speed 
RTTY signals to the bands and the process of pushing a button became to 
"labor intensive", don't you think an adaptive speed decoder might be 
introduced to the ham community?
