That is interesting - for what it's worth, from empirical testing,
Eric's interpolator actually worked with a rx-clock / symbol rate ratio
of 1.487 = 16 / 10.76, altho with a few more visible errors, and using a
really good signal (a 17 element beam a few hundred yards away from a
100kw transmitter ;).
