Something I discovered at Dayton is I probably shouldn't have called that switched mode in the encoder Fast Tuning Mode. I should have called it Alternate Tuning Mode or something similar.
I was asked several times, "Can I tune RIT with this?" After the third person asked, we tried it. Every switch/function on the knob is configurable including the commands that are sent when the encoder pulses. The fast tuning mode is toggled on/off with a push of the knob to activate the switch built into the encoder. We changed the fast clockwise command to RIT Up (RU;) and the fast counter-clockwise command to RIT Down (RD;) and then we configured one of the push buttons for RIT Clear (RC;). In one tuning state VFO A would tune up/down, when the push button in the knob was pressed to toggle to the alternate state, we could tune RIT up/down and at anytime could push the RIT Clear button to reset the RIT offset. 73, Nick On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 4:51 AM, AB1DD <[email protected]> wrote: > Got a PigKnob yesterday.
