New tri-VCO design

[Ian Fritz]

Hi Jim and list --

The THAT120 looks like it should work pretty well. Did you ever try
measuring the matching?

Does anyone have a handy way to translate transistor matching specs (hfe,
hfe matching, Vbe matching, whatever) into current-mirror errors? Don't
remember ever seeing this.

  Ian
