Interesting comment and something I have noted recently as well.  While tuning
the Pegasus, especially a QSY from one portion of a band to another, I find
myself relying on the "analog" dial rather than being transfixed on the
changing numbers of the digital display. Never realized the analog dial was
missed over these many years of all digital readouts!
