I cant get the com1 freq knob to sync with the detents on my encoder

Using this
http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_75&products_id=196

I have tried the different settings in mobiflight 1-4 detent modes, it still doesnt sync with the sim when turning. It needs 2 detens to move it 1 step, or it jumps over if i turn the detents up in the settings. Tried a2a aircraft and Carenado etc. Same on all. on the kHz it should be 70, 72, 75, 77, 80 for example, mine is just jumping over from 70 straight to 75 etc. So i guess it counts double? since it jumps over one step, but it still needs 2 detents. I cant get the math right here =)

Anyone? Tips?

Would it be possible to get more Types in the encoder settings? Maybe 0.5 detents or 2:1 like this encoder requires =) ?
Or is it possible to edit the code in the Value options to tune it better for this type of encoder?

There exist no 0,5 detent encoder....

There is 1:1 ...1:2 ...1:4 and these are available in the settings.

Your encoder should be 1:2

Summary i not understand the problem....

YOU must find out if your hardware setting is wrong OR if your config use wrong command.

If you use for example increase by 0,5 khz then its logical you not jump to ,2,5,7,0 .... it will jump 0-5-0

So test ( for example with key send methode and wordpad) if your encoder send correctly 1 command per detent.... If not change the settings !
If there is correctly one Command but Khz increase is wrong you must rethink the used Input command !
Good Luck !
