[time-nuts] 10 MHz -> 16 MHz

[Alex Pummer]

and what wold happen if you divide the 10MHz by 10 -- with any simple 
counter chip -- and injection lock a 16MHz crystal oscillator with that 
1MHz, since the jitter is not critical .... of course it does not hurt 
if you make the 1MHz pulses narrow, you could use the micro-controller's 
own oscillator circuit, plus that counter [freq divider chip ] it is 
simple and cheap enough?
