While not exactly a crystal replacement, QRP Labs has a 'Prog Rock' kit
which
provides programmable crystal-derived frequencies. These are grouped into 8
banks, so you could for example homebrew a 75S-type dual conversion
receiver.
No SMD mounting/soldering required.

This is rather like the FlashCrystal of a decade or so back, but a lot more
flexible and a fraction of the cost.

Disclaimer: no financial interest in QRP Labs.
