Absolutely incorrect. Consult ITU-R SM.1138: BW = 2M + 2DK; D=shift/2; M =
Baud/2 K = 1.2 (typically)
BWrtty=2M+2DK = Baud + shift*1.2 =249.5 Hz
If you consider the effect of the 33 ms (1.5 bit) stop bit, that effect has a
narrower spectrum which is contained entirely within the 249.5 Hz BW of the 22
ms start and Baudot bits. The shortest element is still 22 ms.
Alternatively, observe RTTY signals on-air.

Absolutely incorrect as 250 Hz does not account for the necessary
modulation sidebands or for the discontinuity (additional bandwidth)
generated by the 1.5 bit stop. Due of the half bit, the necessary
bandwidth for 170 Hz shift RTTY approaches 170 + (2 * 90.9 * 1.2) or
slightly over 370 Hz as the shortest element is now 11 ms.

The -6 dB bandwidth of the INRAD "300 Hz" filter is shown as 340 Hz
which is slightly less than the theoretical 370 Hz required for 170 Hz
shift 45.45 baud RTTY.
That said, performance will be a trade off between improved
selectivity and interference rejection - up to a point. If the
receiver can withstand AGC effects of close in interference, a 400
to 500 Hz filter will generally provide better copy than a 300 Hz
filter. Note: no amount of selectivity is useful when signals
overlap or the interfering signal includes distortion (spurious)
products that overlap the desired signal.

Hello everyoneI would like to outfit my FT-857D portable rig with an
IF filter on its 455khz stage. INRAD sells a suitable 500hz unit.
They also have a 300hz unit. I am leery about the 300hz filter
being too narrow.
Any opinions?
