It would be nice if there was a switch that would allow the sweeps to be
converted (if necessary) to something that could be used on an EMEM or bulb
system with a 10,000hz limit.

For example:  (numbered for clarity)

1) sweep 645000 645200 1
2) sweep 8430000 8430250 1
3) sweep 34750 34825 1
4) sweep 3553 3558 .1

is too high for bulb machines. The output would be converted.

Anything > 200,000hz, divide by exp(3), exp(6), exp(9).   Whatever is
necessary to get under 10,000hz. 

The step would also have to be converted in most of these cases.

1) sweep 1598.795 1599.291 <.01? - step calculated to hit primary>
2) & 3) converted similar to (1)
4) sweep 3553 3558 .1  # left alone

Since there is so much controversy about harmonics and whether to use binary division
vs exp(), it might be better to do BOTH and have a switch

"-divisionType"   scalar | binary

to decide which algorithm to use.  The sweep increment should be calculated such that
the harmonic clearly hits the original primary.

Ken Uzzell's Frex16 program (www.heal-me.com.au) has a conversion routine that does
both too.
