What appears to be the skirt on the inductor tuning knob is actually a turns
counter driven by the tuning knob. 30 turns from zero to full inductance
turns the skirt 180 degrees. I don't know the exact mechanism as I've never
had mine apart. But its a big improvement on the 238's window.

Looking at the QST review, can someone tell me how the knob is connected to
the inductor and how turns are counted? Look like nothing is there!
