    You have it enabled under the settings in SmartSDR, right?
    Are you connected to the PC via a USB hub?

    Joe,  you may have a conflict of com ports.  this happens sometimes with flex control.  try adjusting the com port for your flex control to a different port.  use a high number, say like com 55, something that is well out of range of the others.  This has worked in the past for some with this issue.

    This sounds more like an issue with the USB port not keeping up (https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/202118458-How-to-Mitigate-FlexControl-Latency) or a shaft encoder issue.

    Thanks for the tip! I never realized there was a setscrew for the knob and that was my problem!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
