Hi Art,
Wayne already answered this question:
"The K3 and K3S both use all 400 counts of the VFO A and B encoders (100 pulses/track/revolution). 

The K-Pod defaults to 200 counts. During our testing we found that this provided the best compromise between precision and "fussiness" for typical K-Pod operations.

We plan to add a function to K-Pod Utility (which itself isn't quite ready yet) that will allow the user to change this to 100/200/400.

 Hi all, 


Enjoying the K-Pod immensely. When using to control VFOs, I notice that the K-Pod changes frequency at exactly 50% of the setting used on the main VFOs. For example, with 200 CTS on VFO A, the frequency changes 2 Khz per revolution. Using the K-Pod, the QSY is only 1 Khz per revolution.


It would seem to be more logical if both changed frequency at the same rate. How can this be accomplished?
