Forgetting power of 2 and unstead using circuit complexity to use a cheap
crystal :
8134 * 440 = 3578960 or a 500hz pull from 3579545, should be able to pull
2khz easily ( 3+ if I put two crystals in parallel, look online for the
SuperVXO ) so its well within range although it would be nice to find
something that'd pull to  3.604 or 7.208 so I'm still looking...

Would it be overkill to just use a top octave divider and a 1mhz crystal?
