I'm not sure the 4800hz statement is correct. The data stream is 4800 bits per second which is put through GMSK before hitting the radio which requires a pretty flat response, which is why it is injected into the modulator directly (not through the audio chain) and pulled directly from the discriminator. I don't think the 4800bps directly maps to 4800hz.
