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

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have not noticed it in a great deal of testing macros, etc., on the KPOD.
Are you using the Elecraft supplied cable and not a common RJ45 cable? If
not, you should make sure pin 1 in the cable is disconnected.

Is it possible you have a bad connector that is intermittent.

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

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
