It Has A Knob!!

The exciter on my FM transmitter died the other day and I had to borrow one from an engineer friend while sending mine in for repairs. The temporary exciter is an older Harris MX-15. I have to say a couple of things about this exciter. Number One: It has a knob! That's right...a knob! I can actually grab onto a knob and turn the output power up and down, no more trying to hit the slot on some dinky pot with a jewelers screwdriver! Number Two: It has two meters! One for output power and one for modulation...no more navigating menus to see what's going on! There's a lot to be said for older technology. I love knobs! I'm going to hate going back to my "modern" unit when it comes back from the shop.
