Hi Fred,

Adding the * in the label is kind of cool. But the VFO dial is really
sensitive. Just the slightest touch causes it to jump to the next channel or
it might even jump two or three channels. The firmware should probably be
changed to require 5 or 10 degrees of rotation before changing channels.

73,
Mike K2MK
