Hi Guys, 

Turning to Greenkeys for ideas. My vintage (1959) TX is designed to operate 3 to 30 Mc but is mainly crystal operated. The current VFO will run the TX on 40M and up.

But I would like to work some 80M RTTY this winter since the sunspots are still low. I would hate to only operate with crystal control as the only option.



What I would like to find is a VFO with an output that covers 1.5 to 2 Mc.  If necessary, I can build an external shifter AKA a W6FFC or similar FSK keyer. The ideal would be a commercially designed FSK keyer/oscillator.  The former owner of my TX (W3CRO) had a commercial unit that met those specs but I forgot what it was over the past 40 years.



Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
