[Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT

[Don Wilhelm]

Frank,

I don't have the K-Pod to try it, but there may some strange 
relationship between your K3 setting of VFO OFS.  Try turning VFO OFS to 
OFF and see if the K-Pod RIT/XIT selection adjusts RIT properly.

If that fixes it, of course that is likely a bug, but at least you will 
know what is causing it.
I have not heard any other reports of abnormal behavior with the K-Pod 
and RIT/XIT, and I have monitored the K-Pod Field Test comments.

73,
