I don't know too much about this stuff,. but I can certainly see that it
would be easier in one direction than the other.   And since I have a
vague idea of how to do the first and no idea how to do the second, that
explains it. 

BTW, last I checked I was still trying to understand how an FM signal is
modulated and even harder to understand how it's detected.   I thought
in the last 40 years I'd figure it out in the back of my head, but
instead I forgot what I once knew about it.
