Output from Q208 in 10MHz a sinusoid signal. This is fed to pin 1 of 
U206, a  74xxx14-type schmitt-trigger.  This shapes the output to 
rectangular TTL level. The duty cycle of the 10MHz TTL signal is 
determined by the trigger level of the 74act14 and may vary for 
different specimens of REF0 or REF1. Mine is nearly perfect 1:1.
