I wonder how hard it would be to design a "fake crystal"? Something with a synthesizer chip say an
si570 or si5351a and a little tiny CPU to program it? USB socket at the top - you'd plug it into your
computer and designate the frequency, then unplug and plug the whole thing into the rig's crystal socket.
Of course, it would have to be powered somehow... and an oscillator outputting into a crystal socket isn't
*exactly* a crystal - and the required current might be too high, and....
