I may add that the lower the frequency, the higher the relative
error, but it translates into beat frequency like:
20kHz, 5V -> 6ppm error (assuming only offset errors) -> 0.12Hz
20 Hz, 5mV -> 0.6% error -> of course also 0.12Hz
this is what it is all about, linear detune :->>
Well, not really, unsymmetry are of course also there.
Of course problems get larger if you try to go deep sub audio,
the oscillator may get stuck then, for very wide range vcos
this kind of linear core is certainly not recommended,
but we knew all this from the beginning.
