There must be an error in your manual.  Table 2-1 shows 1E-28A, 2E-28B,
3E-28C.
It does not matter which socket you use for 10M.  From an ergonomic
standpoint I use 28A for CW, 28B for mid fone and 28E for high fone.
With three 10M crystals you will only have 600kc. of coverage on 10M, so
pick them carefully.
