[Elecraft] [Elecraft-K4] KPOD intermittent

[Doug Turnbull]

Jim,

     I have two K-Pods which are used with my K4Ds and previously K3s.
I too on occasion have trouble with the switches.     I have noted that
rebooting the K4D will often cure the problem.    Also I wonder if having
the switch react to both momentary tap and sustained push beyond a second
or two helps.    For me the radios would not be the same nor nearly as
ergonomically friendly without the KPods and both of mine go back to the
beginning of the KPod era.     I too would be interested in hearing more
but I will keep my KPods.

I really like the KPOD...when it works.



I find the buttons occasionally non responsive resulting in nothing being
sent. After a few taps it eventually works again for a while.



Of course this mostly occurs when trying to send a call in a pileup or a
reply 599TU.



Is this a button thing that needs replacing or something in the K4 being
non responsive?



I think it's the KPOD itself since it also happened on my old K3S.
