Yes, setting up the RTTY filters will allow you to narrow down the passband to fight QRM while coying digi mode signals. > > 2.

The RTTY filters are separate from the SSB filters so the changes you make to them have no effect on the SSB filters. They have to be activated from the secondary menu. Setup the first RTTY filter the same as the first SSB filter so you get a full waterfall while tuning around and clicking. I have the rest of mine setup at 1K, 700Hz and 300Hz. -- R.
