Your response is interesting reading indeed. Unfortunately for me I am unable
to help with the improvement of PowerSDR as I haven't a clue as to write the
code to make it do what I would like. The programmers at Flex are pretty darned
close, though! The most I can do is test the new versions

You know, we have been thinking about this all wrong! The *real*
future for PowerSDR is with plug-in GUI components. That way we can
use my PC for digital video editing and have found the keyboard easier
to use than the contour shuttle pro.
Just my 2 cents!Edwin Marzan

Hello All,
I agree on a plug-in GUI, but to set up the PowrSDR to look like an
Vintage rig with tubes or such, then I'll say go buy the real

I know, Real radios don't need knobs, but until you really change
the architecture of the system, they sure are nice to have. In fact,
the knobs are still there but you have to use a mouse to move them. My

If you want to tune the radio rapidly just right click off the cursor and left
click the panasapter. A little hand will grab the screen and you can tune as
fast or slow as you want. Right click the cursor on again and you have 1hz
resolution. It might be nice to make the mouse wheel click
Wow. Exactly the opposite for me. I like the PowerSDR click interface
and find it completely intuitive to click tune (and mouse wheel fine
tune), etc. It has become my preferred way to operate. In fact, in a
recent RTTY contest I used the PowerSDR interface almost exclusively
to tune my K3
Is there a way to use the special buttons and knobs we often have
on modern keyboards to control PowerSDR? I am typing this on a HP
keyboard that has about 18 extra buttons as well as a volume control
knob. Seems like I could be tuning with that volume control and using
the others for other

It's a real knob. Navigator.
Used with Ed Russel's, w2rf, svn, it gives you two choices.
In contesting, especially digital contesting you really need two hands.
One for fine tuning frequency and the other for mouse 'grabs' or keyboard.

Brian,
Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but depressing the 'SHIFT' key
while tuning with the mouse wheel drops it's tuning step by a factor of
10. So if you don't mind two-fisted operation, you'll find that you can
really get around the band and still fine-tune cw and ssb stations very

I can't pass this one!
The guy who got me into this game the first time and again recently, was a
knob twister's poster boy.
This guy couldn't leave a knob un-turned on ANYTHING!
We even set little traps for him like a box with a 1/4-20 bolt and a knob.
He would spin that knob for several
