[TenTec] Argo V and digital modes

[Robert]

Yes one can run any stages in class C  with a FSK signal with no issues.  In order to have IMD issues there must be 2 or more signals present at the same time.  With FSK only the carrier frequency exists although it changes  the required shift frequency amount and at the baud rate.
