There were many of them, BUT, most of them had digital displays. The actual
radio was analog, but the display was digital. 

Off the top of my head:

Original Argonauts: 505, 509, 515.
Tritons: I,II IV, IV digital
Original Omnis (not the VI) 
Corsair and Corsair II.
Century 21, 22 and 22 digital
Deltas

Was the Scout? I thought it had a PTO with a digital display, and a 
microprocessor circuit to correct drift.
