[tacgps] Query: Interest in clock synthesizer

[John Ackermann N8UR]

There are lots of different possibilities (and we need to start building
a database) but in most PCs the 32.768 kHz (I think you meant kHz rather
than MHz) runs the real time clock and you don't need to mess with that
unless you want to keep time while the system is shut down.  The
14.318... is likely to be the system clock, and that's the one you'd
replace.
