[Elecraft] K-Pod MCU 1.09 'F3 Power Up' Question

[Marty Koszewski]

I installed the latest K-Pod firmware - MCU 1.09.   The release notes state "Adds a power-on feature: if the F3 button is held during power up the K-Pod encoder uses a divide by 4 scaling factor.”    I do not notice any difference when powering up holding the F3 button.

What is the ‘F3’ power-up supposed to do?  I thought it might address the 4X VFO knob speed difference between the K3 and the K-Pod (my K3s VFO is still 4X faster than the K-Pod).

Thanks.
