In addition, there is some amount of power in the sidetones which - with a
tight filter - will be cut out as well and will degrade the useable SNR.

>>>Empirically, the 512-tap FIR filter consistently yields a higher decoding
accuracy for -10 db SNR RTTY than does any wider filter. This determination
was made using Moe AE4JY's Pathsim (with no multipath) and Alex VE3NEA's
RTTYCompare applications.
