Brian: There was a time when I missed a knob, but that is no longer the case. I use a Logitech LX3 mouse and a G-11 gaming keyboard. The mouse has a tilt wheel for fast tuning. But that being said there are even better ones out there, (Logitech VX series) I use a modified version the "hotwheel"

Folks, First let me say that before I explain my feelings about knobs you should know that my dad always had extra holes put on his Buicks. He always had six-holers, for example, so I do naturally come by the desire for a slightly different, or unique, appearance. I've listened to the complain

Brian, Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but depressing the 'SHIFT' key while tuning with the mouse wheel drops it's tuning step by a factor of 10. So if you don't mind two-fisted operation, you'll find that you can really get around the band and still fine-tune cw and ssb stations very quick

Actually it's not an alternative. It's a real knob. Navigator. Used with Ed Russel's, w2rf, svn, it gives you two choices. In contesting, especially digital contesting you really need two hands. One for fine tuning frequency and the other for mouse 'grabs' or keyboard. I found the Navigator easy

Is there a way to use the "special" buttons and knobs we often have on modern keyboards to control PowerSDR? I am typing this on a HP keyboard that has about 18 extra buttons as well as a volume control knob. Seems like I could be tuning with that volume control and using the others for other s

Wow. Exactly the opposite for me. I like the PowerSDR click interface and find it completely intuitive to click tune (and mouse wheel fine tune), etc. It has become my preferred way to operate. In fact, in a recent RTTY contest I used the PowerSDR interface almost exclusively to tune my K3 thro

If you want to tune the radio rapidly just right click off the cursor and left click the panasapter. A little hand will grab the screen and you can tune as fast or slow as you want. Right click the cursor on again and you have 1hz resolution. It might be nice to make the mouse wheel click bu

I know, "Real radios don't need knobs," but until you really change the architecture of the system, they sure are nice to have. In fact, the knobs are still there but you have to use a mouse to move them. My Griffin Powermate VFO knob is still back ordered along with my second RX so in the
