[Elecraft] QST Review: Minor Quibble

[Rob May]

I came over from a 718 also.  I tune with my left thumb with the rest of the hand resting on the table and the fingertips on the bottom of the radio.  I don't have any problems hitting other buttons or knobs.  I with there were a freewheeling dimple, but it's not a major problem, I just use a lighter touch with my thumb.
