Original tuning knob?
Hi,
Can anybody tell if this Sommerkamp FRG-7 tuning knob is an original design for this receiver? I don't see any pictures on the internet with this kind of tuning knob.
Tnx!

Re: Looking for main tuning knob.
Hi Andrew, The FL-101 transmitter looks very similar to the FRG-7. But when the FL-101 is used with the FR-101 the pair will work in transceive mode after the interconnecting cables are attached.
