Actually, I've been running 2.4 ghz manually since AO-40, and really haven't
had that much trouble. Just keep spinning the dial. Also, having an older rig
(736r), I don't bother with computer control when on the linear birds. I do
relax under full computer control for FM up through L-band, but there's still
something satisfying about manual tuning.
