Hi

They aren’t looking at voice signals, they are looking at the distribution 
of timing signals. The filters cut off well below voice frequencies. The
issue (as originally mentioned) is peaking in very long chains of repeaters.
Since the cutoff can be *very* low (just like with a GPSDO), the frequencies 
involved in a full amplitude and phase sweep are very low as well. If you want
very tight db accuracy, that pretty much implies that you have a good number
for “zero” frequency …… that puts you into silly season if somebody decides
it must be “tested in”.
