My comment about the extra divide by two is null and void if you pick
a crystal such that you can use a FF output,i.e. the crystal is some
power of two of 480Hz.

Or spend 40 cents for the 3.93216MHz crystal the MooseFET
recommended. In stock at Digikey. Use Q13 to divide
by 8192.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I've never done a PLL circuit.... But if I
can 'restrict' the VCO so that it only 'goes' near 480 Hz, then it
should be a simple matter to 'lock-in'.

Well, I already ordered the crystal. I will keep that in mind. I
need to make a 60Hz VCXO in a PLL slaved to a 24Hz pulse. That is for
later though.

Too many choices and not enough metrics. What properties do you want
in your tone generator? pure sine wave? superclean square wave?
frequency accuracy? amplitude stability? low jitter? least component
count? most straightforward for a tech to complete the design? all
hardware? primarily firmware? least development $? least development
hours? Some balance between these properties?
