The bottom line is that a crystal in the receive accessory slot will make the radios behave just as on any band that is pre-installed.
I bought crystals years ago from Jan Crystals. I looked at their web site yesterday, but was not impressed. Can you order them online, or is it better to just call them and tell them what I need, and for what radio?

Eric,
The Drake manual is not in front of me and I forget which xtal freq is for 10.0
MHZ, WWV, but that is 30 meters. Once you get that working on receive it is as
simple as you describe to operate transceive. Just set the T-4XC mode switch to
"RECEIVE" and use the receiver PTO to control transmit and receive on the 30
meter band. If you put a 30M xtal in the transmitter then you can also use the
xmit PTO to control transceive. The transceive procedure is the same for all
bands.
I have been getting my xtals from JAN Crystals. They are about $14 and are
guaranteed. If you get a used one it will probably cost about $10-$12 and have
no guarantee.
