Now that the trademark (TM) symbol appears in the console window's title bar of PowerSDR, HotWheel doesn't recognize the window and can't send the mouse wheel events to the console.

You can fix this by modifying HotWheel.cfg.

Open the file with a text editor and look for this line:

WIN FlexRadio Systems PowerSDR

The text after the WIN command has to match the console window's title. I first tried adding the (TM) symbols here, but it didn't work for some reason. Probably some kind of conversion problem between ASCII and Unicode. But then I changed it to simply:

WIN FlexRadio Systems

This seems to work. Of course, you need to understand that when you start HotWheel, it will look for *any* window that has this text in its title. So if you have some other window (like web browser) with "FlexRadio Systems" in the title bar, HotWheel might get confused and send mouse wheel events to that window instead of the console.
