[Milsurplus] BC-342 N Question

[C.Whitaker]

de WB2CPN
We called it the Logging Dial.
The operator made a list of frequencies
and the logging dial for each radio, as
each had a slight difference.

If for example you check into a net, you record the vernier numbers and next time when you want to go back to that frequency, you don’t have to tune around to find that frequency: just set the vernier numbers as you recorded them. Otherwise, they have nothing to do with frequency calibration or readout.
