YES - you CAN choose LOW or HIGH tones!  Go into the menu, Exit/Set
(hold)|Others - Find RTTY Mark Frequency - As you turn the main dial,
you can set MARK to 1275, 1615, or 2125, and the RTTY shift width can be
set to 170, 200, or 425.

If you HOLD the RTTY filter button in, you get a screen where you can
choose filter widths of 1000, 500, 350,300, or 250 Hz.

Helpful, or did I miss the point?  73
