Flex control Knob

I recently purchased the FlexControl Tuning VFO. everything ok, it works and the 3 available keys have been programmed. I notice however with the two receivers open the flexcontrol on the main vfo works regularly, while when I want to act on VFO B the tuning synchronization is not regular.

Aaaahhh i'm glad you posted that...my Hercules MP3 E2 controller is doing exactly the same thing on VFO 2 ...i assumed it was my fault or my PC and just lived with it...the fault is :- if you spin the knob a bit fast then the onscreen vfo locks up/delays for a while, eventually after a period of time it catches up and all is well.....fwiw vfo 1 is fine regardless of how fast/slow the knob is spun.

I modified my PowerMate knob so I can use it on VFOB, and the it spins fine on both VFOA and B in .249
But I dont have a FlexControl Knob to test, but it appears to use similar code as my PowerMate knob.

Hello everyone
I'm checking some anomalies with the flex control and bring them back to the forum especially to Darrin to always improve its function and potential.
I noticed that if no function is attached to aux1 aux2 aux3 (none) but we only give the function to Knob press actions (Tune VFO A sub) useful in split operation, the flex control does not work.
can anyone check?

hi to all
is there anyone who uses the Flex control with flex 5000?
I notice that the tunning fluids are not normal. in VFO A I notice that when I turn the knob the panadapter wave freezes while in VFO B the synchronization is not linear with the rotation of the knob

the flexcontrol on the VFO B is unusable.
no one has checked?
