Hell, I don't eeven look at the dial most of the time. I tune
in a station, and listen until I hear a station ID.


Okay, you can randomly DX, Have fun trying to find a particular station.


I understand your point, Bill. We all have differing objectives. To me,
that is the fun of DXing -- it's not a clinical, precise operation for me, I
listen for the enjoyment. That's all there is in radio listening,
enjoyment. It's not a living, it's not the cure for cancer. The Superadio
has a dial that gets you in a ballpark, and I just don't find the dial's
(obvious) lack of precision to be an "extremely serious" matter. I can get
within a reasonable range of any frequency with it, and then, listening
carefully takes care of the rest. And THAT's the fun in DXing, for me.
Everyone's big gripe about the Superadio is the tuning dial, and I just
think that's overblown -- especially when you're talking about a $40 radio,
and especially considering all the good things about it. All righty, let's
get back to the radios.
