[Elecraft] K Pod Intermittently Errors

[hawley, charles j jr]

Using the K3s utility, the macros fire off 100% reliably so it's the pod switch buttons I guess. Double triggering, not triggering, sending the wrong buttons macro. It's getting worse. Looks like the hardware is not up to the task.
I wonder if Elecraft has improved the quality of performance on this item. I have had two bad ones so far and this one is probably out of warranty. I guess it's worth sending it in for repair?

Mine is also on internal power. The interesting thing is that it is so intermittent. Probably messes up about 2% of the time.

I wonder how the K Pod is powered. Is it possible that an external supply
might be causing problems?
My new K Pod works fine on K3 s/n 0063 from internal power.
