[TenTec] calibrator question...argosy I

[wa3fiy at radioadv.com]

As I recall, a square wave is rich in odd order harmonics but weak in even 
order harmonics.  In fact, a prefect square wave would have no even order 
harmonics ( I think ).  I didn't do the math but try it out and see if that has 
anything to do with it.  If it is a divide by 5 divide by 2, it should be a near 
ideal square wave. If it is a divide by 2 divide by 5, or shift register or some 
other way of betting divide by 10, then it would not be an exact square wave 
and all bets are off.
