Most of you probably know this, but in case:
Those HC-6U crystals used for additional
bands in the Drake 4-Line gear-
most of them will triple and some, even 5x
multiply to provide the mixer freq you need.
For instance: If you need 12.6 MC to get
your R4 on 160 meters, a 4.2 MC crystal
will triple there and work. Active+ crystals
will do 5x.
One caution: Any freq error in the crystal
will be multiplied as well.
