I have a heavy, chrome, USB connect knob that was all the rage about 7
years ago.
Not even sure where I put it.
Does anyone remember it....or if any software packages can make use of it?
If nobody has a clue, I may have to search for it.

If you happen to have an extra or Jupiter that you are not using, my
software has an option to hook up to the 302 through the pegasus or
jupiter to just use the 302 knob with a different radio. I have done
this in the past and yes the 302 tunes much better than any other
remote knob.

There is no question in my mind that the Ten Tec 302 is the finest
remote tuning knob ever manufactured by any company. I own one, and
I also own a FlexControl knob, and most recently the Wood Box Radio
Tmate2, neither of which can hold a candle to the 302! The 302, by
my count, has a resolution of 200 steps per rotation while the
FlexControl has only about 40 and the very expensive Tmate2 (twice
the cost of the 302) only about 32. This seriously impacts tuning
ability and requires very large steps or way too many revolutions. I
would also add that the encoders used on the FlexControl and the
Tmate2 are 'wobbly' and feel cheap, where the 302 is smooth as silk,
beautifully balanced and a joy to use.
The problem is that the 302 only works with Ten Tec products and with
more and more people operating by remote control, it would be
wonderful if the 302 could be adapted to work as a USB/HID device so
that it would be compatible with remote software like N4PY's
excellent programs as well as the burgeoning number of SDR receivers
on the market.
Perhaps an external adapter could be developed that could convert the
302 to USB/HID, however since there is no published schematic
anywhere for the 302, only Ten Tec would be able to build such a
device. If they did, it would be an instant source of revenue since
they would sell hundreds of 302's and hundreds more of the adapters.
Anyone at TT listening?
Thanks!

No, it's not working Harri and my wiring looks correct.
I guess I need to open up the 302 and double check the pin numbers. The
302 works fine with my Orion,

Hi Harri,
I wired up my 302 remote to the DB25 on the Omni 6+ and it is not
tuning.
Can you confirm that the pin 1, 6, 2, and 8 connections that you
gave me for the DIN plug from the 302 are numbered the same as this
diagram?
[image: Image result for 8-pin din connector]
When I connect an oscilloscope to the 4 connections, I see +5V and
ground but I don't see any encoder pulses on the other two pins
Is there a schematic anywhere for the 302?
Thanks& 73,
