program to make a circular tuning scale?
 
I'm trying to make a circular tuning scale for a radio, but there doesn't
seem to be any programs that are very good for this. Anyone know if there
is an easy way, or am I going to need to do it by hand?

You might try Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. For simple stuff I just
use PageMaker.

Depending on the brand and model of the raido, Rock Sea Enterprises
http://members.aol.com/RockSeaEnt/ (or another ) may have already done that
for you...

Electronics columnist Don Lancaster wrote about doing meter scales
and the like, (in raw Postscript, I think).

Try his web site. http://www.tinaja.com

There's plenty of programs that do a great job of that. Turbocad, Autocad,
Microstation, Intellicad, Deltacad, Designcad, Vellum, and the list goes on.

This may be the same software but available free in support of a custom
manufacturing service:
http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/ . Just tried it - looks very professional.
