I just loved the cool way the dial itself worked and looked. I'm not thinking of anything that has capacitors or a VFO, or in fact generates any RF at all. I'm just thinking about that display. What I'm imagining is that some demented genius could take a modern receiver with a rotary encoder, and program a control program with a visual dial display that gave the digitally computed readout but showed it on a virtual version of the old HRO dial with the numbers peeping through the rectangles. Actually not that hard to do with one of the control programs like HRD, but it would take a certain obsessive sort of hacker (not me) to want to undertake it.
