Hi Barry,
This week has been a bear for me. Topping if off with long road trip later this morning (Friday).
If you like, I can help you remotely one day next week. We can update the Node Red to new version 3. I upgraded mine earlier and if any issues I should know by time we do your upgrade. I am using Stephen¡¯s version 1.2 Flex nodes.
We can update the flows to be Stream Deck ready and incorporate Alan¡¯s tuner sweep flow. That way whenever you get the Stream Deck it will be easy to integrate.
E-mail me direct and we¡¯ll coordinate.

I did a live demo at Xenia with my Stream Deck plugged into my laptop. Using a combination of FRStack on the laptop with StreamDeck REST commands and then websocket back to Node RedPi in shack in NJ I had full control.
I like the 32 button vs 15 as I don¡¯t have to switch between screens for commonly used controls (AC power outlets, rotor control, relays, antenna switch, PG XL amp, Tuner Genius and radio.)
There is a zip file in files section of the site with my different flows, Stream Deck plug-ins, and my profile for Stream Deck. Also have a video on YouTube where we cover configuring the Stream Deck.
Thank you for the update. I seem to recall having a conversation with you at Hamvention about Node Red and you mentioned using your laptop for demos, but don¡¯t recall whether we discussed Stream Deck.
At this point I¡¯m inclined to defer on getting the Stream Deck given that the 32 button version is probably the one to get and the current discount is not as significant as the 15 button version. There is a learning curve and I do need to learn more about what you¡¯ve posted as well as the videos you¡¯ve created before ordering the device.
Another question that comes to mind is what strategy to follow regarding updating/upgrading my current Node Red configuration. Late last year I downloaded/installed what you had created for PGXL, Tuner Genius, Antenna Genius, and DLI Power Switch. So now it is 7+ months later and apparently a number of new/updated flows are now available from Alan and you in particular which means I should probably update my Node Red configuration to take advantage of these new capabilities.
Consequently, am I better off to:
1. Wipe the slate clean and do a fresh download/install of desired flows; or
2. Do incremental changes presuming that each flow is independent of the other?
There is also the question of perhaps having multiple UI ¡®pages¡¯ of flows based upon the real estate of what will fit on a given display. Any thoughts on this?
