I just want to say thank you for your awesome software, it has helped immensely with my Garmin 530 project that I've been working on.

I have Mobiflight set up with a Mega 2560 and the ELMA dual rotary encoders. I'm using the RealityXP Garmin 530 add-on software so it doesn't recognize the usual GPS commands but has its own set that can be mapped with keys. I have the encoder set to output a key command, but when I turn the knob the radio frequency jumps by 5 Mhz. The same happens when I try to turn pages with the other knob, it jumps ahead by 5 pages. When I press the same key command on my keyboard the frequency increases by 1Mhz like it's supposed to, and the pages turn one at a time. Has anybody encountered this same thing?

Some people have reported to see two key strokes when they hit a button which sends a key to the sim.via MobiFlight.

What happens if you hit the key manually twice on your keyboard? Will it increase the value in the same way? (5Mhz) Or will it just do it twice? (2 MHz)
Have a great day!

When I press the key twice it only goes up by 2 Mhz. Same with the other knob for turning pages. Is there a solution for this?

What happens if you open Notepad and after running MobiFlight you put your focus there? How many letters are printed?
Have a great day!
