Hello;
Speaking of old farts, I had a tr4 transceiver and ordered the "braille 
dial".  I wasn't quite certain what I was expecting but it was just a round 
circle maybe the size of a coffee can lid labeled with one through 25 around 
the edge.  It worked well withe crystal calibrator.
A friend had a sb101 and prior to assembly labeled the internal dial and 
left an opening so he could feel the mechanism as it turned.  Sounded like a 
great idea until the dimo tape labels started coming off and getting into 
the radio.
So much for good ideas.
I guess in some ways we are terribly spoiled even if we now have to fight 
with menus.
