The 2260 was a typo (or perhaps a thinko?); 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).  My alignment was performed for
the correct low-tone frequency pair as specified in the ST-5000
manual.

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!
