Ralph Mowery: 

watching many hours of RTTY with only 170 hz between
the tones, I have seen one tone fade and come back in
several seconds, then the other tone will do the same
thing.

It sounds like selective fading Ralph. You can often see this 
in the waterfall of wide modes like MT63. The selective fade 
"notch" will sometimes move slowly accross the spectrum. 

My best guess is that despite the narrow 170hz bandwith, this 
type of fading could take out one RTTY tone for several seconds
before it recovers to move on and take out the other.
