Charles, It is just like your car. You get great gas mileage at certain speeds and driving methods. Worse is at lower speeds, stop and go, and 55 -65 Mph is a good speed for having an efficient mileage car. However, 70-80 is worse on the mileage. Everything has a sweet spot. Nothing is for free as it takes power to do work or in this case to output RF. The front end of the process always has some requirements to get things moving that do little for you, but you got to have them. Does this make any sense? I don't mean to a smart, I am just trying to relate this in a different way that you are probably familiar with.
I don't operate RTTY, but it is one of the hardest modes on the equipment similar to AM or FM. I would guess it is a duty cycle requirement, so the equipment doesn't melt down or to not create splatter issues. RTTY equipment needs to be properly adjusted for decoding similar to FT8.
