A lot of hams seem to think that a rig is high quality if the tuning knob is 
a 5 lb hunk of metal that you can spin.  I've never understood that.  Who 
moves around a band by spinning the tuning knob?  This message did not 
specifically mention that, but I know a lot of guys like that heavy weighted 
flywheel effect.  It's okay, but is it another irrational way of evaluating 
a whole radio...or not?
