Hi Tony, You are correct in your answer and I was too quick to give a short answer and go. Some crystals do tell what frequency they are cut to or for but this is not always the case. Buying a crystal for channel 32 ,for example, doesn't tell enough to swap crystals. It depends on the MFG.'s design of the receiver. The safest thing to do is buy a crystal from the MFG. of your receiver. Also, talk to one of their technicans if you want to move up or down a channel. Thermals, Art
