typically, yes...

10A 28.0 ~ 28.5
10B 28.5 ~ 29.0 
10C 29.0 ~ 29.5
10D 29.5 ~ 30.0 (top end, of course, is 29.7)

Near as I can tell, the xtals needed for the FT-101 series rigs, starts 
at 34.020 Mc, and increase by 500kc from there.

ie:
Band 10A = 34.020 = 28.0 ~ 28.5
Band 10B = 34.520 = 28.5 ~ 29.0
Band 10C = 35.020 = 29.0 ~ 29.5
Band 10D = 35.050 = 29.5 ~ 30.0 Mc

Hope that helps.
