The Good news: I just got one of the newly-available Honeycomb Alpha yokes, and it seems to be everything the rave reviews said.
The bad news: I can't get the Pilot Edge settings app to recognize ANY button or key on the yoke as the PTT switch. For some reason the Pilot Edge settings app seems locked onto "button 13" on the yoke and wont accept any other. When I completely disabled button 13 using the Honeycomb configuration utility, the PE settings app just locked up on button 14 instead (13 and 14 are both toggle witches that are more appropriate for master switch than PTT.)
Stranger still, when I completely disconnected the Honeycomb yoke from my computer, the PE settings app stayed locked up, with no key showing for PTT and unable to accept any key assignment from the keyboard. This is doubly odd since I used to use 0 or "enter" as my PTT, and I think I continued that for a while after PE switched to the web-based interface.
If anyone else has acquired the Honeycomb yoke and experienced this, great, but what I'm really fishing for here is someone who knows the PE settings app well enough to have an idea of why it's locking up on a particular key setting and maybe has some ideas on how to work around that.
Cheers,
Bob
