You need to stop using the DMR for a hammer Doug.  ;)

Glad to hear it was easy to fix though.

Cheers,
Gene

This morning I managed to knock the DMR's control wheel off and after 
calming down I gathered the parts and figured out where they all belonged.

There are three loose parts when the control wheel comes off: the wheel 
itself, the set button, and a tiny ball bearing that enables the wheel's 
click-stop detents.  The ball bearing sits in a little hollow on the left 
rim of the ridge surrounding the contacts on the DMR.  The 'set' button is 
placed loose in the center of the contacts, then the control wheel just 
snaps back in place.

It looks like the three lobes surrounding the 'set' button are not equal 
size so it seemed easier to snap the wheel back in place when I snapped the 
right side down first.  YMMV.
