[Elecraft] K-pod VFO not smooth

[Bill Johnson]

The length/complexity of a macro can influence the response according to what I have read.  I have a couple of long ones, for diversity on my K3S and they are not necessarily instantaneous... I don't expect them to when relays are involved.

I had no end of trouble with my K-Pod. I finally had to record a video and send it to Wayne to convince him that I could press a button, have the K3S light up indicating reception but fail to execute.  He revised the K3 firmware and this is fixed, but response time is still slow.  I can't comment on the knob, as far as I'm concerned, it's just in the way of the buttons.

I can't remember the FW revision but the notes should say.

For example, long push on F4 several times triggers the macro assigned to short tapping on F4. This also happens while the PC application is running.
