No Mark. Fortunately you were very lucid at the time :-) The FLEX-5000 uses the MIDI control protocol to manipulate hardware controls in the radio. The "hooks" part of the code is not exposed fully yet, so there isn't an easy way to do this now. I could see where someone could create a FlexWire device that would allow one to create a external interface to possibly control the hardware in order to make a widget with knobs, but since the FlexWire specifications are not yet published, this is only conjuncture on my part.

Was I hallucinating, or did I really read this somewhere? If so, I assume that there must be some hooks in PowerSDR for receiving MIDI, any info on how to connect MIDI to PowerSDR?

Jim, Of all the really good ideas you've expressed in the couple of months that I've been reading the reflector, the concept of creating a (easily detachable?) "front Button/Knob panel" for the 5000 is absolutely the best! You see, if I tell visitors to the shack that I've got one of the most advanced radios available and all they see is a switch, no one will pay any attention to my claims. BUT..... And I do have a really good collections of buttons and knobs, including the "Classic" National Radio knob! Thanks, loads!
