A user on the list suggested I reinstall PowerSDR - this gave the option
to choose the flex control. Checked it and completed installation and
flex control is working now. IMO a better experience would be to have
the PowerSDR integrated installer install the FlexControl driver as part
of every install or remove the FlexControl driver install from the
PowerSDR integrated installer and provide a driver disk with the device
or offer a link to the driver software on the invoice. I also suggest
merging the errata and quick start guides and mention the need to
reinstall PowerSDR.

Following the instructions for the FlexControl found at

I pluged the new FlexControl into my Mac Powerbook Pro running windows
7 64 bit and received the message that the driver failed to install -
no details, no error code. This is the same laptop where I run
PowerSDR 2.2.3. The knob did not come with installation instructions
or a driver cd. The install doc says that if widows ever needed to be
told where the driver was, to look here: C:\Program Files\FlexRadio
Systems\PowerSDR v2.1.x\FlexControlyy. Where x is the dot release of
PowerSDRand yy is for 64 or 32 as appropriate for my bitness of
windows. There is no folder named FlexControl* in this folder.
Suggestions on next steps? I've tried plugging the knob in with
powersdr running and not. Reboot of laptop did not help. Does not
seem to care if my Flex 5000 is plugged into the laptop or powered
on. When I search for the term FlexControl at
http://kc.flexradio.com/search.aspx I get no records found.
