Initial Request

Hank Greeb asks a question:

Subject: FSK-31 vs PSK-31

"If I key a crystal oscillator with pure FSK at the same rate and similar frequency change as is produced when the phase is changed with PSK-31, will it produce a waveform which can be decoded by a PSK-31 receiver? I say this because, if this were the case, it would appear that one could generate PSK-31 with almost any CW rig with a varactor across the oscillator circuit. 72/73 de n8xx Hg p.s. Happy Gnu Yaer 2 all"

He had asked a couple of years earlier. I don't recall if he got flack for the idea or if there was no interest. I had though about doing the same and commented on it at the time, but never got around to trying it. Time to see what happens.
