[WriteLog] Best RTTY decoder

[Jim Smith]

The story is at http://lists.contesting.com/_3830/2004-03/msg00751.html

I didn't realize that the clone RO function could be used as described 
with RITTY.  Yes, RITTY is hard to tune quickly.  I use the PK232 
indicator to get close quickly and then the RITTY indicators to get 
right on.

Sounds like it's time to upgrade from 10.37.  Thanks for mentioning this.
