Subject: [VR-500] Which Is Your Method For "Surfing" in the VFO Mode ?

  

When I'm fishing for frequencies in VFO mode (such as dialing in SW
freqs), I find myself using the tuning knob - just clicking away until I
find something that comes in. I'd like to use the scan feature to do
this, so as not to wear out the dial-knob, but so far for me it leaves a
little to be desired compared to the old-fashioned way of just turning
the tuning knob.

What is your method for doing this ? Is there something I'm missing
about this feature that makes it more effective when surfing ? Also, is
there a way to make the dial turn smoother ?

Thank you,

Jimmy
