Update.....so for me this technique is not working.
Zero'ed in on a known station to the NW, noted the dial was off. I
pulled off the dial indicator and stuck it on his correct heading. All
seemed fine until I went to work a station to the NE and of course I
found I was off......I figured no problem I would adjust the max
rotation pot on the back to line that station up. After going back &
forth a few times I think I was all set.
That is until today when I tried for the 1st time to work a station
almost due south of me at 185 degrees. Turned the rotor all the way CCW
and the dial stopped at about 200 degrees. So basically I am all dorked
up here.
At this point I would not suggest folks just pull off the dial indicator
and stick it at the "right heading", not w/o repercussions or other
required adjustments that will need to be done because of that. Now that
the tower is erected that will be more difficult since I do not climb.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Push it back on pointing at the actual heading. You put the cover back on.
