[Elecraft] K-pod issue....I think?

[Mike Weir]

Good afternoon all, I was operating in the NAQP CW this weekend and the main reason I purchased the K-pod was for contesting. It was great to have the VFO right beside my keyboard and to have the advantage of sending contest macros from the K-pod meant less mouse work. The question I have is...I did notice on many occasions when pressing the "F" buttons to send a macro (e.g. VE3WDM and Mike ON or K3 functions such as spot or A/B ) the macro did not send. Sometimes it took pressing the "F" button 3 times. Other times it was first press and I noticed this on all the F buttons I was using which was F1,2 4 and 8. Has anyone else had this? My question to Elecraft (as I know they monitor the list) is....is  there an issue with my new K-pod? It is very frustrating during a contest to send your call and have it not happen or your exchange and nothing and as said sometimes up to 3 tries.  As well to want to spot a station and nothing happens or A/B and nothing happens.

Thanks
