[Racal] Knobs for RA-17/RA-117

[Rob Filby]

Hi Dave.
             I have had lots of Racals over the last 25yrs and have come to 
the following conclusion:

Racal put the large skirted knobs onto the IF/RF gain pot and onto the AE 
tune control. Thats as illustrated in the
RA17L manual and the sales brochure.

On the RA117 rx the knobs were the other way around, i.e the large skirted 
knobs were on the AVC and the AF gain
control.

Personally I put the large skirted knobs onto the AVC and AF gain controls.

If you need any knobs for these rxs please let me know as I have quite a 
large stock including new ones.

Merry christmas and a Happy new year.

Rgds Rob.
