[Elecraft] K-POD LED 4

[john at kk9a.com]

Great suggestion Tony, and quick.  I knew that the K3S's had the same
firmware revision as I did them at the same time months ago however this
evening I checked the K-PODs and the original one was out of date. It was
easy to update and now both act the same with the D4 LED being on all the
time. At least this explains why they acted differently. Neither radios will
switch the light using the KPLED4 command, perhaps a radio firmware update
would help however at the moment I have no interest in using the LED in a
macro so I'll leave it alone.

Hi John,
I would check the s/w versions of each of the rigs and kpods to make 
sure they are all the same.
try exchanging one kpod with the other and see if the led on stays with 
the rig or the kpod.

My guess is the sw in one of the devices is lower than the other device.
