Check again, because that does not match my experience if your K-POD
firmware is at 1.09 (can't test now, sold both K3s).  If CONFIG:VFO CTS is
set to 100 (or 200?), I'm pretty sure the K-POD knob tunes at the same rate
as the VFO A knob.  I don't think a power cycle is required.

If Elecraft could do it, I'd like for the K3/K3S F/W to provide the option

Yes, we asked for that years ago, but it never happened, and I don't think
it will ever happen.  There's just no room left in the K3's limited memory
to add such complex code now.

Consider upgrading from the K3 to a K4.  K-POD plugs straight in via USB
cable and works perfectly.
