For a self- coded radio it should be a breeze to add your own 'dials and
knobs' front end.
I have to agree that inputting a number or clicking the sweep button is
not the same and turning a heavy tuning dial but it does produce a hell
of a lot more useful data than an older radio.

However - like MP3s and vinyl, they just don't have the same richness of
sound as a proper radio.
