Right. So MMTTY is my main decoder because it responds faster than 2Tone.
2Tone Selective and Flat/Flutter (doesn't matter which) are my second and third
decoders for clear copy when MMTTY doesn't. The DXP38 is my 4th decoder
because it decodes off-freqency callers best. Sometimes MMTTY decodes clearly
when 2Tone does not.
You can never have too many decoders ... or, too many antennas.
