[TenTec] Century 22

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

In a short answer....... yep.  Expect to make knob skirt changes when changing bands. 

As to digital displays, when I got my Novice license, if we knew we were in the Novice band we were doing great!   My bandspread was calibrated 0 to 100.  As to how many kilo cycles that covered?  No one really knew.  The width of the main tuning dial pointer completely covered the Novice band.
