I hot-glued a bottled water cap to the top of the dial and then hot-glued the cap to the top of a rice jar--3.5" od. The water bottle cap gave clearance above the components. I attached a paper disk inside the top of the rice jar cap. During the day, I marked freqs. along the rim and indexed the ticks against the edge of the bottom of the rx's case. It's still crowded at the top, but the dial is easier to use than the thumb wheel. The rx is no longer pocket portable. I used the 37V as a frequency spotter and noticed that it was not as selective nor as sensitive as the 59. Local stations were wider on the 37. For example, 880 WCBS was easy to separate from local 900 on the 59. Not so on the 37. Couldn't find it at 880 on the digital dial--heard local 900. This was almost an hour and a half before sunset and NY is 750 miles away.
