REPLY: 
Good point, but the way I plan to use it it should work. I want to run the
IC-7500 in RTTY mode with a 300 Hz bandwidth. I'm guessing that bandwidth is
narrow enough for 2Tone to lock on and thereby generate a signal that is not too
far off of 2125/2295 for FSKit to operate correctly.

There is another problem I just thought of however. Having AFC on while S&P'ing
and using FSK is not good. I'll have to think about that a bit. This might not
be doable after all.
