My point is that the dial mechanism is a simple form of mechanical logic.
When the operator tunes a an SX-28 so the index points to 10.000 MHz, the
operator is "requesting" that frequency. The operator isn't setting the L/C
network to anything he/she can see or identify at that point other than to
make the index point to 10.000 on the dial. The dial mechanism moves the
tuning circuit components in a way that, if the system is calibrated, will
result in the receiver being tuned to 10.000 MHz, plus or minus whatever
errors are inherent in the calibration or pointing accuracy of the
mechanical computer (dial mechanism).
