yes, after thinking a little yes

funny eveb PHASE inversion produces audible results,
with nco should be possible get yes, maybe quite acceptable
results, i did just a few tests, and i only had 1 bit audio to use
as modulation, and the result was pretty good actually,
much better than small piezo buzzer would do...

maybe I assumed that real modulation is required
but using nco clocked at 2x the output and modulating around
mid frequency, hm maybe even that isnt required the
receiver should overage it all and receive anyway
