[Elecraft] KPad and P3

[Gary Smith]

I have a K Pod on order and would love to be able to run the P3 with 
it. Fr that matter, I use the SVGA with the monitor just 
beside/behind the K3s and I've long wished the knob functions for the 
P3 could be placed on the OFS knob on the K3s. It would require the 
P3 encoder replacing the OFS encoder but it would make so much sense 
to be able to elect to have all the knob based P3 control be assigned 
to the K3s knobs. It would be more ergonomically based. 

If the P3 selection can be done with the K Pod, and still adjust VFO 
A on the K3s, that will be absolutely fantastic.

73,
