The reason for the 20.8 in the T-4XC is because of the proximity of the PTO and Car Osc second harmonics and their unwanted mixer products. IF you look at the crystal chart for the T-4XC you'll see that the 21.1 MHz crystal is marked DO NOT USE in the 10.1 MHz region. This is the only region (aside from 60M) that this is a problem. 17M is fine.

International Crystal (ICM) is a reliable supplier. There are other suppliers that have been recommended by others, but ICM is the only one I have had experience with. I have heard negative comments about JAN Crystals but some have had good luck. Perhaps they are inconsistent?

Looking at the manuals for the C-line I see that for 30m the t4XC wants a 20.8 xtal
and the R4C wants a 21.1  xtal  .....
just wondering why these values are different since xtal values are the same for
xmt / rcv  on the other freq ranges.
I wonder what is a good source nowdays for xtals ..... I would like one for 25m SWL (22.6 xtal) and also xtals for 17m .....anyone tried the twins on 17m.... does it work OK ? thanks jim
