[Elecraft] Elecraft K-Pod manual updated -- now covers use with the K4

[Fred]

Adventures in my 20's followed by a steady accumulation of birthdays has 
left me with arm/shoulder deficiencies, aggravated by reaching out to 
tune and adjust a radio. The K-Pod is the best accessory I purchased for 
my very early K3 [S/N 642].  It gets the tuning and 95% of the switch 
functions I ever use right down at my left next to the mouse and 
paddle.  I can rest my arm on the arm of the chair which saves the wear 
and tear on it and my shoulder.

I also operate W7RN [K3] remotely with the RemoteRig interface, and the 
K-Pod tuning knob remotely tunes just fine but the switches don't work, 
probably because there are no macros loaded into the remote radio?

I also purchased the Digital Voice module which I've used at least 2 
times, forgetting that the only time I get on Phone is on 2 m and 70 cm 
from my truck. [:=)

> The K-Pod is an accessory control panel that's ideal for use with the K4. It provides 16 switch functions; control of VFO A/VFO B/RIT-XIT offset; and three general purpose open-drain outputs for station control. You can use the K4's macro editor to create command sequences to assign to K-Pod switches.
