Andy Mouser has a 28.000 mhz xtal( not overtone type) :

CITIZEN CRYSTALS
MOUSER PART NO 695-CSA309-28
CITIZEN # CSA30928.000MABJB

28.000MHZ WITH 18PF LOAD CAP

$0.83

iF THAT WONT WORK FOR YOU THERE ARE PLENTY OF 27.000 MHZ XTALS. I think 
the htx-100 can be modified to 27.000 band, ch19 is 27185 , or you 
could pick up a 23 channel cb rig. 

Good luck, go ahead and buy it .
