I used Fluttered signals (FIR) when working VK9CX on 20 RTTY this morning.  It worked well on the fluttery signal.

I normally leave it on this profile most of the time and occasionally use the AA6YQ profile on occasion for weak signals like 3A2MW
on 12M RTTY a little while ago.

VK9CX is almost exactly over the poles for me.
Long path or short. Here in Chicago, it's usually short path in morning, long path in our evenings.


It seemed to me, that the MMTTY 'Fluttered signal (FIR) was the best copy.
I could actually hear that funny warbly sound which resulted in really 
poor print.
They were loud enough, (-80 to -90dBm) I've copied far weaker signals 
that printed better.

Which profile do you RTTY experts use in a case like this?
