I much prefer dials over buttons, and these dials have a solid feel to them

The WR-11 also has better tuning dial, less spongy

I love the dial for tuning in to radio stations too; far superior to discrete digital channel selection, since you can hone in on the exact bandwidth where the signal is clearest.

and I appreciate the dials

The rotary dial is cool.

A digital display is of course more convenient for dialing in stations, but the rotary dial is easy to use.

Simple dials are refreshing in a day when everything is so complicated
