Yes, indeed I remember running this test with the 2 Omni 6's I had and the
keying in FSK mode sounded beautiful.

What about using a diode switch to kick in a resistor across that xtal
filter when the rig is keyed inorder to broaden the bandwidth? This would be
a really simple mod.
Is it possible that the chirp on the leading edge is somewhat weaker than
the desired carrier thus masking it during a poor communications path?
What effect do you think keying speed has? The bandwith of the composite
signal would be greater. Would this move the chirp out past the skirt of the
filter to a point that it isn't noticed?
