[sdiy] converting a 10v p to p to a 0-5 volt signal

[Tom Wiltshire]

It is an interesting choice. For an oscillator output, I'd have gone  
for -/+10V (eg 20Vpp) since that'd give me a better SNR with a +/-15V  
power supply, and still leave me a bit of headroom to prevent  
anything from operating too close to the rails.

I can see the advantage of +/-5V (10Vpp) if you're using passive  
mixers, since you could mix two signals together and still not  
overdrive your output.
