Oh yes, I remember the M.CH. knob. There must have been some function on that knob
that I actually used. I know because I got a number of "half QSOs" on my TS-570 by
turning that knob by mistake. Mine was configured to 10 kHz jumps, so getting back
wasn't easy. On a few occasions, I had been recently spotted on the cluster, so I
could find the frequency there.
