Actually, I think Dex had good luck with 5 kHz, and did both WOLF and Jason
that way.

I'm sketching out a simpler phasing exciter than the one I built. The audio
phasing only has to be accurate over a fairly narrow range compared to
voice, so there will only be a limited number of critical components.

Darn, but I do like your suggestion of quadrature sound card outputs,
though!
