I've been a knob, switch and button junkie from an early age, but cannot fathom how there could be 140 controls on an amateur transceiver. Not disputing your count, David, but I'd like to see a larger version of a photo of the front panel so that the function of each control can be identified.
Certainly, that's more controls than on a commercial broadcast transmitter. In fact, the only piece of electronic gear that I can recall working on that had more adjustments was one channel of a redundant air traffic control radar system, with about 200. That was in my Air Force days, circa 1971-75, before solid-state replacements and computer interfaces took over. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 5/9/2012 2:59 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > I had to count the controls 4 times!
