Can someone tell me what the conrol on the right horn of the 727 and 737
control wheel ? In the pictures linked above I've listed the number
"dialed
in" on this control. The numbers don't seem to correspond to altitude,
airspeed, heading, or transponder.



Comm frequency?

No, it can't be. The civil VHF comm band is from 118 to 137 MHz with 25kHz
channel spacing, so the numbers 297 and 495 don't fit.
