[Elecraft] New K3/K3S firmware allows remote use of K-Pod

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

Our K-Pod control unit can now be used with a K3 or K3/0 that is acting as a remote terminal for a K3 at another location. (This applies equally to the K3S, at either end.)

Here's the applicable release note:

* * *

K3 MCU 5.55 

* KPOD WORKS IN REMOTE-RIG TERMINAL MODE:  The K-Pod will now function correctly with a K3 or K3/0-mini being used as a remote-rig terminal. Basic functions of the K-Pod can be used, including switch tap / hold and VFO A/B/offset control. LEDs and AUX outputs of the terminal K-Pod are not yet supported. Note:  At present, when switches on the terminal K-Pod are used, they will execute macros stored at the remote K3. This will be apparent when macro names are flashed on VFO B.

If you're interested in testing this new capability, please email me directly.
