I use my Omni6 on RTTY without a problem. Had a 217 and sold it, too 
narrow. Use LSB and your 500hz filter(s) and you won't have a problem.

FSK is fine as long as the 2 xtals are 170Hz apart, any more/less you 
will not be happy. I use AFSK and as long as it is set right you won't 
have any problems.

If you do use FSK, the PBT needs to be set at 3 o'clock.

All that is needed for the FSK keying cicuit is a 1K resistor in series 
with the TXD line.
