[Elecraft] K-POD Issue solved

[Tony G6GLP]

Hi Guys,

You may remember I reported an issue with the K-Pod missing key presses 
etc. Since it was intermittent you can never be sure you have fixed the 
problem. Last night I was having a little play in the 160m contest and 
the k-pod started to play up almost 50% of the time so I had to do 
something. I picked a snap on toroid out of the misc box I have on the 
desk and clipped it on. I have no idea of the value type or anything 
else but magically the problem stopped. So it is/was RF getting in down 
the k-pod to K3 connecting lead. I am using the factory supplied lead 
and since it is quite short and nothing to do with the fact I couldnt 
fit more than one turn through the toroid  if I wanted to the toroid is 
just one turn clipped over the connecting cable.


While I shouldnt say its cured I can say my problems went away for the 
rest of the contest that I took part in. Time will tell if the problem 
on other bands have gone as well or I may require another toroid.
