If I remember right, it was the xtal for 22a and 22b which was 27.265 and 27.275mhz. Then there was 23a and 23b.
I used to have a SBE console II.

That radio was a real good radio for extra chanels to be put in them if you think it has extra you need a frequency counter to see where you are at, look for extra switches on the radio and the 3 on the front may be used for the extra chanels.
