Re: [TenTec] WTB: 302R Remote Tuning Pod for Omni VII

["N4PY2" <n4py2@earthlink.net>]

I don't remember if the 301 knob had an adjustable drag on it or not.  But
if you run the O7 with my N4PY software, I have a software parameter you can
set to adjust the knob sensitivity.  This is an easy solution.
