Crystals
I whoopsed. The resulting fundamental frequency I quoted should have
been in KHz or Kc back in those days. 38.1/72 = 0.5291666 Mc or
529.1666 Kc. and 23.2/54 = 0.4296296. In the first example, my
dyslexia got me so the numbers are wrong. Sorry.

If the crystals are the old WW2 crystals that are about an inch square,
the frequency is determined as follows:
If the Channel is a 2 digit number, divide the marked frequency by 54 to
obtain the fundamental frequency:
Channel 32
Marked Frequency 32.2 Mc
Fundamental Frequency 32.2/54 = 429.630 MHz
If the Channel is a 3 digit number, divide the marked frequency by 72 to
obtain the fundamental frequency:
Chhannel 381
Marked Frequency 38.1 Mc
Fundamental Frequency 38.1/72 = 529.166 MHz
Hope this helps and 73,
