Basically useless as it doesn't free-spin to make fast QSYs. It also doesn't have acceleration. You can have mine. I use the ShuttlePRO for the first time in the Flex booth at Pacificon. I liked it immediately. The center knob turns like a standard tuning knob and is great for making small adjustments in freq. The ring around the center tuning knob provides QSY with acceleration, i.e. the farther you turn it, the faster you QSY. I am thinking of getting one. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
