Yes, but why 10-cycle? You'd think 8-cycle or 16 cycle would be
more appropriate for the purpose, except that they don't make it...

For some reason the decimal system is prefered over the octal and
hexadecimal in the general community. Something to do with what they were
first taught at school I think. Even with the introduction of computers
making Hex slightly more well known, I don't think that is likely to change
anytime soon.

Sure, but we tend to think of frequencies in powers of two rather than
ten.

Being logarithmic to power of two, suits that already. Line groupings of two
would just be silly. Getting people to change to an octal number system
would be useful though, I will admit.

Good luck with that.
