[Elecraft] [KPOD] Re: Now that the K-Pod is shipping, (longer RJ12 cable)

[Lyle Johnson]

I suggest cutting the wire connected to pin 1 at the radio end. Can't 
hurt to cut it at both ends.  Otherwise, there is a possibility of the 
radio doing things you prefer it to not do, probably precisely when you 
prefer that it not do those things...

The function associated with pin 1 is not used in the K-Pod, but is used 
in the radio and at the factory.

If you are just curious why this might be, please examine the schematics 
for the K3 available on the Elecraft website.
