As seen from Figure 4 of the Extended Nyquist Filter article that I just
posted a few minutes earlier, the Raised Cosine and Matched filter both
comes up with better than 13% character error rate for a -10 dB SNR.  So
there is another level of improvement you can easily make if you can modify
the FIR filter coefficients in MMTTY.

>>>I have the MMTTY source code, but since Mako-san JE3HHT re-engaged to
develop MMTTY 1.68A, I am reluctant to initiate a major effort within his
code base without his approval -- which I have requested, but not yet
received. As your posts have pointed out, there are many opportunities to
improve MMTTY's RTTY decoding.
