[sdiy] 440hz revisted

[Tom Arnold]

In a fit of narrowmindedness earlier today I was quite fixated on a 4.400mhz
crystal however after Paul S mentioned that getting one divisible by a power
of 2 would be a better idea, I started considering other options.

Seems like a better idea is a standard cheap colourburst crystal like
everyone else seems to use, and pull it the 500hz required to divide it
cleanly.  No, it wont be power of 2 compatible, but it will be 25cents each
and sealed in a metal box away from air currents and fast temperature
variations it should be stable enough that after dividing the drift wont be
noticable.
