There was some discussion here a while ago on the need for an A-440
reference oscillator. I made mine with a Clare M-991 call progress
tone generator. It works well but they are hard to find. I decided
to design one around an Atmel AVR processor / switched filter that
produces a square and sine wave output. Here's a link to the project:

So the question ... is there any interest from this group?
Would you be interested in a programmed IC?
Would you be interested in a small PCB?
Would you be interested in the filter IC?
Let me know. I'm done with the project and have looked into the
possibility of parts or PCBs if there is sufficient interest.
I detail some of the math on the web page. The accuracy of this is
well below that of tuning by ear and better than most home test
equipment to measure it. Parts cost should be pretty low and only
requires a couple of external components.
