But isn't knob twirling and button pushing
an accepted part of the allure of SW DXing?- Hide quoted text -

Yes, it's accepted. It's accepted because it's inevitable, but I don't
think anyone wants to there to be any more knob twiddling and button
pushing than is necessary to get the job done.

My point was that playing with the knobs and features is an integral
component of the joy of 'digging 'em out', otherwise someone would just
tune to a local broadcast for set it and forget it entertainment.

Point understood and taken. My point was that this doesn't warrant
controls that are more complex than necessary, which is what many find
to be the case with the 7030+. Otherwise I'm sure someone could sit
down and devise a set of controls so complex as to require hundreds of
motions and button pushes just to change the filter width.
