that's standard on the GNS430W.

I wonder why that is?


Probably because it was easy and cheap to implement, and didn't add any (or
very much) complexity to the computer-driven user interface.


Ah, right. 8.33 MHz is probably a feature of the chip-set employed in
the circuit design. There would be little reason not to implement it
given the digital (as opposed to step switches) nature of the user
interface.
