As Richard has explained in his post, it was indeed used with the WS53 on RTTY, at least until it was replaced in that role by SR D11/R234.
I know that the R209 was also used by Royal Artillery units for the reception of Met broadcasts. I'd always assumed that these were voice or CW but it's possible that these were actually sent as RTTY/CFS. I'll have a dig around and see if I can prove or disprove that.
