In RTTY mode, WinWarbler can run a soundcard RTTY engine (MMTTY) in
parallel with an external RTTY modem like your AEA232MBX, a KAM, an
MFJ RTTY modem, or an SCS multimode controller. This can be used in
two useful ways:
1. to provide diversity decoding, which can improve your copy of RTTY
DX in poor conditions
2. to simultaneously copy a RTTY DX station operating split and his
or her pileup, accelerating detection of the DX station's QSX
frequency
