What can you say - a 5!  Time owned: more than 12 months
I thought I had written a review on this neat item. I put one on my old TS-940 and it has been flawless. Nuff said.

Great add-on  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I have been refurbishing a Kenwood TS-440SAT from a SK estate. One frustration has been Kenwood's lack of a finger hole for the TS-440S main tuning knob (TS-430S had one standard!)

Wayne Smith, K8FF Finger Dimple is an elegant solution. Wayne also created the orignal NorCal Code Warrior Junior paddle (now sold assembled by Vibroplex).

The toughest decision: What color of dimple do you select-- Black and Gray? Get one of each color!

I selected the Black for the TS-440S knob -- and it matches other colors on the front panel knobs (so does the Gray dimple).

Highly recommend for frustrated TS-440S owners.

Dimpletastic  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I, too, have one on my TS-850, the FingerDimple(tm) is a great little product.

Since they come two to a package, I put the extra one on my Griffin Powermate, which I use as a VFO knob with the stellar Ham Radio Deluxe software. It makes for super-lazy, leaned-way-back-in-the-chair ultrasmooth tuning. Just the way nature intended.

Simply Wonderful  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
Two thumbs up for the finger dimple... simple and effective. My 850S is also much easier to tune now. Why didn't someone come out with something like this years ago?

Great product  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
Bought one for my TS-850 and it has made a great difference. The rig is a lot easier to tune now.

Groovy  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
I've had a Finger Dimple on my Elecraft K2 for nearly a year without any trouble. It's simple, it works perfectly and its cheap.

Try saying that about anything ELSE in your life, eh?

Great  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I added a black Finger Dimple to the tuning knob of an Atlas-210. Is good looking and works great. Only $6 for two knobs including (fast)shipping to the Netherlands.

Wish I'd Have Thought of This  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I've got 2 SGC 2020 xcvrs, one with a stiff tuning knob and one that spins easily. I added the Finger Dimple to both and now they tune with one finger. The grey ones match the 2020 pretty closely.

What a simple idea! I wish I'd have thought of this.

6 bucks including lightning fast shipping is reasonable.

A Simple Device that Works!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
The finger dimple makes tuning a joy on my TS-850SAT. My $6.00 order came with 2 each - a black and grey dimple) Quite simply, they make tuning the bands a joy. 73.
