The Space Pilot solves this to an extent when using the W2RF console. It keeps focus regardless of what window has focus. But for the programable buttons to work correctly PowerSDR does need to have the focus. But the knob is great. You can tune, pan left/right, zoom in and out and change the filter width...all with the knob.
I am selling my Flex5K and have one of these for sale for $225 shipped. They're $350 new. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Mon Aug 25 3:30 , "FireBrick" sent: >Joel >I experience the very same anomaly when using the Griffin >and also with the ShuttlePro > >Very erratic response. and if you move either too fast the panadaptor >freezes till it catches up. >As the 'Focus' problem rears it's head in contest of dxing, >I've 'hoped' for a hardware direct to the flex 5K option. >such as shuttle to the flexwire connector. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Joel Harrison" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz> >Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 12:50 AM >Subject: [Flexradio] Griffin Power Mate Latency Issue > > >> Hooked up the Griffin PowerMater tonight so I could have a "fine tune" >> control for my left hand while I'm sending CW with my right hand. >> >> The PowerMate is working OK, but it seems to be experiencing some latency >> issues.
