Hi John 13.55MHz rings a bell for the ISM frequency, which is the US "HiFer"
allocation as well. Most of the kit I have seen (not a lot) in the last 20
years had crystal control, but the supply is not always that well smoothed.

If I recall correctly, there is an ISM allocation slightly below 14 MHz
which is used for RF heating. Some of the power oscillators I encountered
did not have a very stable centre frequency and had a rather broad signal.
A
colleague from South Africa told me that he always knew when the UK was at
lunch because the background noise on 20 m down there was much reduced.
