The 2260 was a typo; it should have been 1360, which is the center
point for low tones (1275/1445).  Fldigi specifies its frequency for
FSK by the midpoint, not mark (which I think was more common for
vintage equipment).

The Drake filter was centered around the low tones, near 1360.  (I
don't know exactly where, and the 2-B  filters are not exactly
symmetric.)

It was my experience that I could indeed copy OK with the ellipses not
at right angles, but only under near-ideal conditions.

Thanks for your input!
