[Flexradio] FlexKnob Tuning Lag

Both Harry, VA3EC, and myself are running Flex 3000s with decent PCs (mine’s a fairly new I7 quad core running the Flex at 2% CPU using Windows 7) and we’re both experiencing significant and obvious lag when tuning with a mouse or especially the FlexKnob. We are using the latest edition of

Hi Matthew and Steve, KJ4TN’s message about the S3 noise level minimum on the Flex 3K describes my experience as well. While it varies from band to band a bit, my S Meter never approaches zero, including when the antennas are disconnected or when I am connected directly to the dummy load.
