Using E- coder plus

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to use the Expert Electronics E coder Plus with the HPSDR software running an Anan 10, if it is, can it be configured as for say a DJ console.
Thanks
Dave

Dave,
I moved your topic to a sub-forum where we discuss various knobified hardware used for controlling our radios. The other sub-forum is dedicated to the discussion of Simon Brown's "SDR Console" thick-client software (PowerSDR alternative).
The short answer would appear to be "No". The E-coder website says "Control panel is designed to work with ExpertSDR and ExpertSDR2 programs". ExpertSDR is the client software used to run the Sun and MB1 series of SDR radios.

Many thanks for putting me in the corect section.
What confused me about the E coder is that it says "supports power SDR software only with Windows OS and requires E-coder Pro SW work with the TS2000protocol via CAT system" thats what made me think it might be a possibility. Never mind it was worth a shot.
Thanks for the help and quick reply
Dave

Dave,
I did not see that particular blurb. If it speaks "TS2000" CAT protocol, it might very well work with PowerSDR, since PowerSDR also will process many TS2000 commands.
It's a very expensive unit. If you can obtain one and try it with the opportunity to return it then it might be worth the effort.
However, you can obtain a wide variety of MIDI controllers that will work quite well with PowerSDR and do the same things. The only downside is that you have to label the controls, and it can be fussy work to do that in a neat, clean, professional looking way.
Perhaps more importantly, have you contacted the manufacturer directly and asked them how/if it will work with PowerSDR?
