A "dial"?  You damn kids and your new inventions, you're getting SOFT.
In *my* day, when we wanted a new station, we'd reposition the cat's
whisker on the lump of germanium and adjust the capacitance or the
inductance.  And we were the better for it too!  You damn kids are lost
if your BATTERY runs down ... not us!  We're all laughing at you.
