Hi Alberto, your idea sounds great!!! I think it will be a great addition to
interface Winrad to a physical tuning knob, IMHO I prefer the old-timer's
spinning wheel effect, so my vote goes for the Powermate.
This said unless you feel you really need the five buttons of the
ShuttleXpress.
BTW I agree, tuning a radio is quite different to video editing.
Best wishes for 2008.

A question to you all about the use of a USB knob.
The two major presences in this area are the Griffin Powermate and the
ShuttleXpress.
Should you choose one, which would be that ? And why ? I am asking as I have in
plan to add USB knob support to Winrad,
and would like to hear from somebody who has used both which one, in his
opinion, is more adequate for the task of
tuning a software radio. Don't forget that those knobs have also peripheral
buttons that can be assigned to various
functions, and so also the easiness of pushing them is important.
I have been told that video editing people prefer the ShuttleXpress, but IMHO
their modus operandi is different from
that of a radio amateur tuning a frequency and selecting e.g. which
demodulation mode to apply.
Thanks.
