You certainly do and thank you for providing a solution that is better
than nothing but the genuine FT-243s you have on desired frequencies
are a bit pricy, and the others are HC-6 crystals inside FT-243
holders.  They may work (I think I have one that works with a fast
chirp on transmit, but it is okay for AM) but they aren't the real
quartz one would expect to find in a FT-243 holder.   The only problem
with that is that if your ersatz FT-243s wind up in a flea market no
one will know that they aren't the real thing without opening them up
and looking inside.
