Narrowband FM used in land mobile radio and amateur radio usually has 
25, 20 or 12.5 KHz channel spacing. 10.24MHz was mostly used in CB 
radios with a MC145106 or similar PLL IC, and with a double purpose: to 
obtain a 5KHz PLL reference and also as the 2nd local oscillator to 
convert 10.7MHz first IF to 460KHz second IF.

This reminds me another widely used crystal frequency for the list: 
12.8MHz is used in radio transceivers with 25 and 12.5KHz channel 
spacing, since 12.5KHz PLL reference is 12.8MHz / 1024 (and also another 
discrepances: 60.005 would be 60KHz with a 5Hz IF, no 5KHz, and also 
77.503 would be 77.5KHz with 3Hz IF, no 3KHz).
