When k approaches 1, one frequency tends to infinity but the other 
tends to Fo/SQRT2  (derived from Fo/SQRT(1+k)). That is because the 
primary cap transformed by the inverse turns ratio squared appears in 
parallel with Cs (and the inverse also applies). The net result is a 
single frequency which is not Fo.
