[Elecraft] K-Pod vs Pigknob (was Re: [Elecraft_K3] New Elecraft Product: K-Pod Control Panel for K3S and K3 Transceivers)

[Nick Garner]

The K-Pod has a vastly superior encoder and knob compared to the PigKnob.
Using the same encoder as the K3 in the PigKnob wasn't economically
feasible at the low quantities I deal with.  There is a header on the board
though for enterprising individuals who want to connect the K3 encoder
(purchased from Elecraft) to the PigKnob.

Hisashi, send an email over to support at pignology.net if you run into issues
and I'll help you out.
