    AI6RE is correct, I just tried it. But I don't see it as a problem, I had not even noticed it. I just click where it works...

    Extremely minor issue!

    As I pointed out,,if it is a problem for some, than program the slider into the Flex wheel and move from there. yes, Know Problem.

    You can hover the mouse pointer over the slider and use the mousewheel to change the volume. Or, maybe change your screen resolution a bit lower and the slider control will be larger. ( depending on your monitor size that may help) James WD5GWY

    I've always felt that the sound level area needs help. It has always been way too small to be useful.

    You could buy a Maestro and you will have knob to use. That surely will fix it.

    This problem does not apply to the Slice audio controls. they work fine.

    Perhaps they will tweek that some time, in the mean time use the sliders that works best for you, and there are ways around the problem if you see it as one.

    This problem applies to the volume slider on the SSDR control panel.  The volume slider on the slice flag works fine.

    1. Posters need to be more specific when stating a problem.

    2. That slider works fine for me in 2.5.1 which I reverted back to but I did not have any problems with any of the sliders in 2.6.1 either.

    Are you compressing the display too much? What resolution are you using?

    That’s a quite large mouse pointer. I suspect that’s part of the problem. Try reducing the size of the pointer in Windows settings.

    Flex marked it as NOT a PROBLEM and it bothered him, so he is continuing on. It is fair that other people can report that they are not finding it an issue.

    LOL, if Flex marked this as not a problem then Flex has a problem. SSDR is reporting the wrong data to the user. In fact, SSDR is reporting data from another control. Would you feel the same if SSDR indicated a different frequency then what the radio is actually on? Since this slider data is totally inaccurate, what other data in SSDR is inaccurate? If Flex really marked this as not a problem when it clearly is, then it throws everything in SSDR into question. What else are they hiding as "not a problem".

    I don't know about all that mumble jumble..Lol so funny.
    But here is a clue for those having a terible time controling this slider. When you move your mouse to the slider button, the round thing,  Keep moving the mouse slowly till you see a little box open up with the setting number. Now your on it and can move it.
    When you see that little box just use the scroll wheel on the mouse to adgust it.
    Just pay attention to what your doing.

    That may work Bill. This particular slider that Flex has classified as "not a problem" behaves differently then all the other sliders in SSDR. So maybe all the other sliders have a problem as seen from the Flex view point.

    Also, this particular slider operates differently or said another way, has a different characteristic once it is above the 91% range. So another work around for this "not a problem" slider is to keep it above 91% for more proper operation as compared to the other sliders in SSDR.

    Why on earth do we need "work around solutions" for something that has been classified as not a problem?

    Seriously though, this really does seem like a very simple fix that I would be willing to bet is resolved in the next release.

    Fix what? I have been working with this slider for 10 minutes and it seems to be very consistant, What are you seeing that is not correct? This slider is the shortest in SSDR, but what are you seeing?

    Bill, I am not going down that road with you. You have come up with work around solutions to the slider problem yet you now claim that you do not see the problem? Surely you misspoke there. Besides the author of this post has pictures above showing one(not all) of the problems with this slider. Also in his pictures one can easily see that it is NOT the shortest slider in SSDR.

    I'd really like to see where Flex officially classified this as "not a problem". I hope they have not as that would be embarrassing.

    Ok I see what you mean now, after looking at it longer, the change should come down a few pixals. I remember in the ANT tab the RF Gain dot was not correctly centered and they fixed that at one point.

    In this case i just go ahead and use the slider without looking that criticaly at it, I have no problems working it.

    And yes thanks for pointing out that some others get offended when I don't have the same distain for Flex as they do, I'm very happy with that.
