Narrowband FM used in land mobile radio and amateur radio usually has 25, 20 or 12.5 KHz channel spacing. 10.24MHz was mostly used in CB radios with a MC145106 or similar PLL IC, and with a double purpose: to obtain a 5KHz PLL reference and also as the 2nd local oscillator to convert 10.7MHz first IF to 460KHz second IF.

This reminds me another widely used crystal frequency for the list: 12.8MHz is used in radio transceivers with 25 and 12.5KHz channel spacing, since 12.5KHz PLL reference is 12.8MHz / 1024 (and also another discrepances: 60.005 would be 60KHz with a 5Hz IF, no 5KHz, and also 77.503 would be 77.5KHz with 3Hz IF, no 3KHz).

Many older narrowband FM radio synthesizers using the MC145152 PLL chip use 10.240 MHz to give 10 KHz channel spacing with its binary-only R divider.

Hmmm.  I thought FM had 200 Khz spacing, and AM had 10 Khz.
