[Elecraft] Elecraft K* POD

[Don Wilhelm]

Henning,

There is no need to *program* the K-Pod itself.
You do write Macros for the K3 (use K3 Utility to enter them) see the K3 
Programmer's Reference for Macro command structure.

Then the K-Pod buttons can initiate up to 16 K3 Macros - a tap initiates 
macros 9 through 16 while a hold initiates macros 1 through 8.

For instance, one Macro can be used to turn on SPLIT, then set VFO B to 
the same frequency and mode as VFO A and move VFO B up 1kHz.
Another Macro can turn on RIT,  while another can turn on XIT.

Think about how you operate the K3 and create macros to automate that 
process.

The knob on the K-Pod will move VFO A or VFO B depending on which switch 
position you have set.  The 3rd position can change the RIT or XIT offset.

Late K3s and the K3S are K-Pod ready, but remove the front bottom panel 
of your K3 and check the resistor.  See the K-Pod instructions.

73,
Don W3FPR
