[Elecraft] KPOD

[Bill Johnson]

Don,  What command do you use for the KPA1500 power switching.  Call me lazy for asking.  I use my KPOD for band changes, mode changes and tuning, fine, coarse etc.  Oh, I also use for Diversity, plus a switch to normalize operation, for when I screw up.

I bought two KPODs right away Ed.   I’m a DXer and have always enjoyed busting pileups … especially the big ones that take up lots of bandwidth.   IMHO the K3 VFO B knob has always been rather klunky …. Doesn’t spin easily…. Small, etc… so has always been awkward to use it while searching through a large split pileup while trying to find the station the DX is calling….. so I use the KPOD to tune VFO B most of the time…. And it works great …. The P3 and Subreceiver are also really great tools for the big pileups.   I use the programmable KPOD buttons a lot …. A few for sending recorded DVR messages (both CW and SSB) …. And others for switching A/B, A>B, Split +2, Split +5, Split/Unsplit, Subreceiver on/off …. And switching power between 100W and 30W (for driving the amp) …. Now that I have a KPA1500 which can do the drive power switching for me when I go between operate and standby there’s no need for the power switching anymore … 

I love my KPODs
