[hpsdr] Griffin PowerMate USB control

[Steve Ireland]

Hi Joe

 

Many thanks for the info about the PowerMate - much appreciated.  I have got
used to using a mouse for main tuning with my Elecraft K3 with an outboard
Softrock and CW Skimmer, but still use the manual IRT on the radio.  

 

Operating in a CW contest or running a pile-up on the low bands with the K3,
often the IRT is about the only control I touch - and is just about the most
important control on the radio for me personally. Now if I can do the same
with the HPSDR and PowerSDR/OpenSDR, that would be fantastic!

 

I think I know someone who has a Griffin PowerMate locally and will see if
he will lend it to me for a few days to see how it goes.  ;-)

Hi Steve, 

 

The PowerMate USB control from Griffin Technology works nicely with PowerSDR
for RIT control, if you really want a knob to turn.  I find the control very
useful in following the "drifting" signals you sometimes find in EME
operations, without changing your Tx freq.
