[Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT

I have noticed one issue with my K-POD.

When I move the rocker switch to RIT/XIT on the K-POD and turn the 
RIT/XIT function on from the front panel of my K3 spinning the knob on 
the K-POD does not reliability change the value of the RIT/XIT. It will 
tune some but not consistently.  Turning the RIT/XIT control from the 
front panel of the K3 works normally.

VFO A and VFO B respond to turning the knob on the K-POD normally.

With the rocker switch in XIT/RIT position on the K-POD and the K3 
RIT/XIT function turned off then the K-POD tuning knob adjusts VFO A in 
coarse mode.  This is normal for the way I have the K3 programmed.

I assume this must be a bug in the 5.50 beta firmware which I have 
installed.

As a side note installing the surface mount resister in the K3 is not 
for those inexperienced in micro soldering.
