Bill it depended on the radio.  Some had a tuner that you could receive with 
and you just needed a crystal for the transmitter.  Others you needed a 
crystal for both the rx and tx.

Subject: old crystal radios


Hi to all,
As I have said earlier, My first 2 meter radio used crystals.  I think =
they used to call them rock bottom radios. any way, I was wondering when =
you bought crystals did they come individually or in pairs?  for example =
if you wanted to get crystals for the repeater  frequencies 146 34 146 =
94 did you have to buy individual crystals or did they come in a pair?
