I use the Sami Aintila's "hotwheel" program and have reprogrammed the left and right arrow keys on the number pad to control the RIT. You still have the focus on the logging program. I also reprogrammed the #5 key(+Alt)on the number pad to zero the rit.
http://kotisivu.dnainternet.net/ahti/sdr-1000/HotWheel.zip This is a great program for adjusting the radio while keeping the focus on the logging program. It can be modified to meet your needs by changing the .ini file. Lots of functions that are now on Hotwheel can be controlled by the logging program (ie, freq, band , etc). That being said you can change hotwheel to control other functions on the flex. The number pad only has so many keys. The scroll key turns "hotwheel" on and off. The Hotwheel program makes the Flex a much much better contest radio!!! It's great. Please do not change the function of the mouse wheel!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY missed an easy-to-use RIT control. Modern RTTY decoder software with "Automatic Tuning" helps, but RIT is still necessary. While I was in the RUN mode, the only PowerSDR control I used was RIT. My Tx freq must not move, so I couldn't tune the radio just to accomodate the occasional off-frequency caller. I typically had only 2-3 seconds to adjust the RIT to grab his callsign. It would have been very helpful if I could have set PowerSDR to let the mouse wheel control the RIT instead of its presently dedicated tuning function. Those tiny RIT buttons in PowerSDR V1.10.1 are hard to find quickly and slow to use. The keyboard commands are better, but the mouse wheel would be best. I guess one of the external "knob" gadgets could be dedicated to this, but I prefer to work with the keyboard/mouse combo if possible.
