[RTTY] 2Tone - not better than MMTTY on Florida East Coast

I haven't had much luck with the "flutter" setting.  "Normal"
always seems better to me, even on fluttery signals.  The jury is
still out, in my mind anyway, between filter 1 and filter 2.  I'm
leaning toward filter 1.  Maybe G3YYD can fill us in on his
survey results.

I think 2tone is most valuable as a complement to MMTTY, rather
than a total replacement.  If you have them both running, and the
mark and space frequencies are identical in both programs, you
can use the x-y scope in the MMTTY window for tuning.

I use FSK, so I use MMTTY in the main DI Window, and 2tone in the
receive-only window.  You can do the same with AFSK.

Don't give up on it.  Try "Normal," "Filter 1," and use 2tone in 
the receive-only window.
