I guess it was inevitable - Due to excessive knob twiddling, switch-

Any and all advice welcome!

Could be computer mouse use too.

Well, it COULD be - but I've been using the mouse for decades, and new
radio has kept me busier than usual :-)


I have the same problem but I have an SDR so I know the problem is too
much mouse usage. I need to get one of those USB tuning knobs.
