I had a CAP-issued CB rig in my dorm room in college in the early 70s. I got it to operate on 26.620 by swapping TX and RX crystals for one channel (I forget which one). Worked like a champ, along with a base loaded whip antenna I bolted to the aluminum window frame, when I checked into the weekly PA Wing nets.
