  Hey, steady on!  If it connects to two pins on the PIC, it *is* a
standard crystal and *needs* loading caps.  Using a "TTL Oscillator"
module like most PC motherboards nowadays is an easier option for 20MHz
and up and on this basis, they have become quite common (20MHz is a
likely value for a disk controller IIRC - may be salvageable from a junk
card) but consumes more current, if that is a consideration.

  If you *did* find one and use it, it is a 3-terminal device, you have
to identify Gnd, +5V and output which goes to OSC1 pin on the PIC, OSC2
then beinng left open, *no* loading caps and no other alteration
necessary.

  Again, the most important point - *listen* to it on your receiver,
(short antenna wire next to workbench) as it is presently and for
whatever change you make.  You'll definitely find out what's happening.
