I see this device as a fix for one if the biggest issues I have trying to rise to the top of a DX pileup while running split -- hitting the VFO A or RIT/XIT knob and losing the DX. I currently solve that problem by locking VFO A, but this means that fine adjustments of tuning for him take a couple of extra steps. It also means that VFO A is locked on different bands if I decide to see what else is on while I wait for the pileup to die down or propagation to improve. It looks like the switch on the K-Pod will be hard enough to move to make it another solution to the problem.

If it is really just a mirror for the VFO B knob, i will still not be able to tune in the pileup while monitoring the power supply voltage on the K3. It might be nice if it was VFO B while the K3's VFO B know remained the selector for the measurement to monito (time, volts, amps, etc.)
