I saw this phenomenon get going when digital displays were fully embedded
and many ops had never operated a non-digital display radio.  Just felt
weird to be on 14302.57 when 14302.00 or 14303.00 or even 14300.00 was so
close...  I even wanted, with that, to verify what I saw was accurate.  The
old see the "00" and assume it IS "00" problem (accuracy, precision, etc.).
When we did not have digits shown, we didn't care except near band/class
edges.

Thanks, Steve. I couldn't imagine what this was about!
