[Elecraft] K3: K-pod uses

[Joe Stone (KF5WBO)]

IMHO, the primary advantage of the K-Pod is the weighted knob and
corresponding 400-count ball-bearing
optical encoder.  It's the exact same knob / encoder used with the K3.  You
can tune the K3 remotely (up to the length of the cable) with the exact same
"feel" as if you were turning the VFO A knob on the K3.  Of course, in order
to pull this off, the K-Pod must seamlessly support 400 counts per
revolution (which is still TBD).

You're absolutely correct in that the P3 supports up to 50 macros.  In
conjunction with a keyboard, you have macros coming out of your ears.  In
this scenario, the K-Pod programmable switches are definitely secondary. 
Not to mention the fact (as I understand it), the K-Pod won't control the P3
markers.
