Yes and no. They’re between 10 and 20 times cheaper than the proper ones. I actually use mine as a VFO as well occasionally for receivers/transmitters.

If you’re just replacing a crystal or three, it’s worth looking at this: https://www.qrp-labs.com/progrock.html ... saves a lot of legwork! If you are so inclined you can even program it with the dip switches on board.
