Today was like Christmas. The two SR-40s and a Griffin
PowerMate showed up today. No time to build
today...that will be for tomorrow, but I did have a
chance to set up the PowerMate with the PowerSDR
software. Very easy setup using the instructions at
www.flex-radio.com under Downloads. In fact all their
manuals seem to be first rate so far.
I set mine up a little different than the instructions
for selecting VFO Step.
When you turn the knob, it tunes the VFO.
When you click and turn the knob, it changes the VFO
step size.
Let up and you are back to tuning the VFO at the new
step size. A VERY natural feeling action made even
better by the very high quality "feel" of the PM.
I played with the PowerMate using the *.wav files that
Bill made available earlier. It doesn't do anything
you can't already do with a wheel mouse. But it SURE
does it smoother. What a beautiful piece of equipment.
Tuning is like a REAL receiver now. hi. Can't wait to
get one of the sr-40s going tomorrow.
