Default Ever had a problem when swapping crystals?

Did I miss something here? Aren't crystals tunned in for a pre-defined band, so if I swap crystals (and have done so) from lets say ch 44 to ch40 how does the transmitter (or the receiver know?)
What I would expect is, for the person who swapped the crystal to display the correct frecuency on the tag and to also pin the correct frecuency on the freceuncy table.
The problem is if a flier swaps crystals and without telling or pinnning the correct channel turns on the tx an shots down another flier or causes an accident

Which brings to mind the Spectra Module on some Hitec Modules. If I understand correctly, you can change frecuency on the radio by using the Spectra module, now there is no crystal swapping involved so no rules are broken but still I managed to change frecuencies....hmmmmm mybe the laws should be checked

Best Regards,
