This could probably work (tuning while the app is in the background) if the app could register two or three system-wide hot keys which the tuning device could then emulate. But as you say, it requires the logging/control program developer to implement this. Keystroke or mouse wheel emulation only works if the app is in the foreground. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
