Hey I remember 100 khz and 25 khz calibrators, otherwise it was count
how many khz per revolution of the dial, take your best guestimate.

NOw when I'm not in direct keypad entry mode with the Icom 746 down at
the hospital station I sniff the display.  WIth my 740 and 730 at home
no speech available so it's sniff the display time there too.  AT
least the 740 has 100 and 25 khz calibrators.
