I have a bunch of FT-241 cased crystals, black, all for 3500 Kc. (Khz for you whipper-snappers). I use them for band-edge markers in my BA rigs. They are just marked "3500 Kc." Actually, I have others that are the same, but for "4600 Kc."

Incidentally, perefct fit in FT-243 socket, no bending of pins or whatever.
