Working on this myself. It's on the same shelf where all the other
partly-finished projects go to die. But I have the Arduino (in a
socket to cut down on exposing my poor soldering) at least. :-)

Lossa lossa pages out there quantifying and ranking transceivers on
many things. Has anyone done this FSK signals generated by
FSK-capable transceivers? This would be helpful information both for
radio buyers and people like Chen who like to point out that AFSK is
better. :-)

Yes. This is me, exactly, which is why I stubbornly stay with FSK.
