For 120kHz cancellation the signals have to be 180° out of phase _AND_ of
equal amplitude at the receiver. Otherwise, you see a change in duty cycle
but you still see a 120kHz signal. It is not a real world issue! If it were,
Insteon, which depends on 180° phase shifts in the 131.65kHz carrier would
not work.
