EXCELLENT video description of the issue, ke5akl! As a (mostly) digital mode op, I have the exact same issue... On 20, I'd like to watch the area from about 14069 and up on the panadapter. For ME, having a more fully featured implementation of the sub-receiver on VFO-B would be a sufficient

I used mine for a short period of time on my 3K. I noticed that if you spun the knob too fast, the software would freeze until it caught up. Other than that, it worked ok. I too prefer the mouse. 73, Jim / K4ECP - Original Message - From: y...@aol.com To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Dale, I bought a Griffin PowerMate with my SDR-1000 in January 2006. I quickly disconnected it put it in a drawer. Actually, I have it hooked up now with its default settings. I feed the FLEX-5000A audio output back into the PC soundcard. The PowerMate makes a really good volume control --

I agree with Ray on this. I bought the Griffin before I bought my first Flex (largely in anticipation of getting a radio to use with it). When I finally did get a Flex, I found my whole way of looking at radio operating changed. With a conventional radio you tune with a knob in your hand and

I fall into the same class as most. I purchased the PowerMate at the same time I bought my SDR-1000. I set it up, used it for a few days and then stopped using it once I realized that the Flex is really a visually interactive radio and the mouse, with its planer multiple degrees of freedom,

Click tuning is fine. Using the mouse to control vfo is fine As long as your only doing one thing at a time. In heavy contesting or competitive dxing, where speed, accurate signal placement, and transmitting the proper message all at the same time. You need two hands and one set of eyes. In

I think the Griffin is very handy. Use it for tuning sometimes, but it is nice for adjusting the AGC. Easy to program. 73 Wayne K4ELO ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Brian, Yes, the fine tuning is done by ear. However, I use the mouse wheel for that. When operating SSB, I can click on a signal, quickly right-click to turn off the crosshairs, and then use the mouse wheel for fine adjustment of the frequency. In CW or digital modes, I expand the Panadapter
