I don't have my 820 any more.  When I did, I thought it was 20 KHz per 
revolution.  It also has a crystal calibrator, so I was able to get fairly 
close to the right frequency.

A friend of mine, Wa8LMF, put some straight pins in the thin round wheel 
behind the knob.  He put one with a bigger head at 0, and the others had 
smaller plastic heads at 20, 40, 60 and 80 positions.  By aligning those, I 
could get within a couple kilohertz of the frequency I wanted even without 
use of the calibrator.

Steve, K8SP

It applies to the 520, and 120, I wouldn't be surprised if the 820 was the
same.
