Thing is any other audio oscillator with a fine waveform takes a while
to start and to stop and won't follow high speed keying well and the
sawtooth is has as fast a rise and fall as the RF output. Cleaning with
a low pass filter adds delay too. I suppose one could rig a continuously
running sine wave oscillator and switch the audio from it on and off and
keep up. But that's more complicated and its hard to get rid of the back
wave.
