[Elecraft] K-Pod question

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Dave,

You could make the macro be A/B (SWT11) and then A>B (SWT13) which would align B with A.

Cheers,

Fred

I experimented a bit with the method suggested by Fred, using VFO-B to 'mark' the next signal up the band, and then using A/B to 'jump' to it.
That works, but of course after each 'jump', VFO-B is at the frequency of the previous QSO. That means a little extra excursion to tune VFO-B past the current VFO-A frequency to get to the next one up the band. No big deal, just not quite as nice as using the markers on the P3.
Anyhow, thanks for the tip. In hindsight it's pretty obvious, but I wouldn't have thought of it without your suggestion.

Thanks Fred, I hadn't thought about that but it might be a workable way to accomplish the same thing. I had never really thought I needed a K-pod, but maybe I do.... :)

How about using the KPod to tune VFO B and then have a macro that swaps A/B.  Or just run SO2V.

When the K-Pod was first introduced, there was some indication that a
future enhancement would allow it to control the P3 - specifically, to
adjust the markers and 'tap to QSY'.

Is this feature available yet, or imminent?

I discovered that the P3 is pretty useful for unassisted search and pounce
in last weekend's RTTY contest - While working one station on VFO-A, I'd
move marker A up to the 'mark' tone of the next RTTY signal up the band. As
soon as the QSO was logged, a tap on the P3 knob would jump to the next
station to work.  Then move Marker A again and repeat. With a little
practice, and the SPAN set fairly narrow, I could nail the tuning every
time, provided I didn't bump the P3 knob when tapping it.

Although that worked well, it was a lot of reaching to the P3. It would be
a BIG improvement if a K-Pod, right next to the keyboard, could control
those functions.

Can it?
