I find the "dial-in" design to be very usable on my unit. Get close with the MHz or 100 kHz unit, push the right arrow button to shift to the next significant digit etc. Done in a few seconds, and steady as a rock. These units are all digital synthesised, with a crystal oscillator reference. Any drift/ inaccuracy is in the 10's to 100 Hz at worst.. You can always check by tuning it against WWV. For radio alignments, it is more than good enough.
