Radio crystals

[pittss1c]

I inherited an RST 6 channel radio, and was thinking about tinkering
with it. The problem is that it only has 2 frequencies in it, and they
aren't ones I want.
Does anyone here know of a source for aviation band transmit and receive
crystals that I can use?

Not to Jim specifically, but all in general.

This thread remineded me that I'm still looking for 2 RST 6-channel
radios for my gliderport. 123.3 and 123.5 are the useful frequencies.
Does anyone have any of these fine radios they are willing to
part with for a reasonable (cheap) cost? :-)

Thank you for your consideration.

Not me! Jim is a cool guy! Nice wife, too. :-)
I still use the RST-442 intercom I purchased ~30 years ago as a kit. :-)
He EVEN knows how to get cars and a dorm room at Oshkosh!

All three! Before, now, RST-442!

Gosh, mine's only a WIFE/MOM, but I think I'll keep her.
