My 2cents worth. This simulator really interests me, so I have been reading the email.
I don't think I have ever been seen an aircraft radio which displayed the decimal places. The old radio were sometimes confusing. I can think of three different ways the radios in the airplanes I fly do it: 1. You turn big knob, it counts as below: 02 05 07 10 12 15 17 20.. etc. 2. You turn big knob, it counts the 50 Mhz spacing. You turn another, it adds 25 MHz spacing. 3. You turn big knob, it counts the 50 Mhz spacing like 05 10 15 20.. etc. You push button, and turn same big knob, it now counts 02 07 12 17 22 27... etc. You turn same big knob the other direction, it counts the "big" numbers, 110 111 112... etc. What I think is more important, is a radio is choosen, and then modeled exactly. Make it like the real thing. I don't have the screen in front of me, but I seem to remember the radios looking sorta like King KX155s. (hope I don't insult anyone, were they something else? :>) ) Make it work just like the KX155 (or whatever).

Its all clear now. I take it we should change the panel from 0.5 MHz on the MMB and 0.05 Mhz on the LMB to 1 MHz on the MMB and 0.025 on the LMB - would anyone disagree with this?
