[Elecraft] K Pod Intermittently Errors

[Frank]

I had problems with my K POD RIT/XIT working intermittently with the K3.  The XIT/RIT worked fine on the K3.  I opened a case and sent videos to Elecraft.  They sent a new K POD but the problem was not resolved.  They had no other solutions and the case was closed without resolution.  

Years later I upgraded to a K3S and the same K POD works perfectly.  Apparently my 2013 K3 CPU processing power was not robust enough to support the K POD fully.  I did not us the XIT/RIT function often and really liked the tuning and macro buttons so overall I was happy.

For some buttons, the Pod makes mistakes occasionally. Instead of sending the correct macro, it?ll send a different button programmed one...or send both the tap and hold ones. Mostly just happens with two of the buttons #4 and #5.
My first pod messed up with #1 intermittently and Elecraft replaced it. But this one had a problem with #1 also intermittently.
And wisdom on this? I love the Pod anyway.
