Hi all,

I am curious about this statement:

Interestingly, Stan at Ten Tec was reading the list and also replied moments
ago. He said that the Paragon can not receive true FSK and that using the
offset is a requirement.

I understand that "True FSK" transmit capability refers to either frequency shift keying a single oscillator, or switching between two oscillators in RF stages (such as BFO oscillators, or shifting the VFO) as opposed to using audio tones into a SSB transmitter.

What is "True FSK" receive? Using a discriminator in the IF instead of using audio tone detectors or an audio discriminator circuit? Or would it be two detectors each with their own narrow IF filter? Is using an audio tone demodulator NOT true FSK receiving?
