[Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Frank:

I have been playing with RIT and XIT various tuning rates and cannot
duplicate it here. The K3 follows the K-Pod perfectly.

Since it's only in RIT/XIT, I wonder if you got a bad rocker switch with
intermittent contacts on the K-Pod.

Don,

Turned off VFO OFS, but the XIT/RIT tuning from the K-POD is still erratic.

Thanks for the suggestion.
