I googled the term "dial-twiddling" and found the following examples in which the term is used as an adjective: I mean, who in their right mind would forego the button-pushing, dial-twiddling joy of a black box transceiver ? شادی/لذت حاصل از فشار دادن دکمه یا چرخاندن پیچ تنظیم http://www.fabricoffolly.com/2007/07/tun3r-old-skool-radio-d... Whilst I suspect I may not be revisiting TUN3R on a regular basis, it's a interesting attempt to recreate the physicality of analogue radio's dial-twiddling experience (you even get a touch of static when you're roving around the dial) and much more compelling than a list of the stations could ever be. http://www.fabricoffolly.com/2007/07/tun3r-old-skool-radio-d... تجربه چرخاندن پیچ/صفحه تنظیم |
