Regardless of what is added, how it works, or what it does, there will always
be those that like it. And likewise, there will be those that object and won't
like it. It needs to fit the needs of the masses.
I've worked systems both ways. I like it the way it works at present.

I found that for RTTY especially, K-Pod (KNob) is on left and right hand always
on mouse at right of keyboard.(Apple Bluetooth ).

We’ve gone from a weighted knob for the KX2 (I don’t own one, so have no
opinion) to a dimpled tuning mechanism on the K3. As to that, no thanks. (How
ever did we do ham radio without one?)
Perhaps a shock device, appropriately connected to the operator, that would
fire every time a digit

With all due respect, I strongly disagree. With an analog knob,
the smallest movement of the knob results in a change of
frequency. My K-Pod moves several degrees before the frequency
changes. The main knob on the K3 moves less, probably half the
number of degrees, but with both knobs
Hi all,
Tactile feedback from the VFO knob? Absolutely no, no, no!! The VFO knob
should feel like the old analog VFO and with 10Hz step size it does. No
changes please!!

My best compromise is to use the KNob or whatever they called it. Set K3 to
read 10 Hz and KNob is 1/2 that. Works great for S CW and RTTY.

What I would really like for fine adjustment, e.g. one step when
tuning weak RTTY, is tactile feedback from the knob. A slight
bump for each time the VFO changes by one tuning unit. Note that
in today's radios, tuning is not continuous, it is digital, and
knowing when you have moved the VFO is
I had "ballistic" tuning on the FT-847 that I had and hated it. Maybe I
did not develop the right touch, but I would find when trying to tune
quickly up or down a few kHz, I would end up going a MHz or more and
have to struggle to get back where I wanted to be.
I use the bandswitching
I"ve always wished for a 'ballistic' interface, i.e. the faster you turn
the VFO knob the larger the frequency change per turn. On the other
hand, I've suffered poor implementations of that feature (uBitX,
anyone?), so it would need to be done carefully, if at all. ICOM seems
to have managed to

I love my KX2 but the main tuning knob has always been a problem for me.
It’s just a tad too small and not easy to spin rapidly.
I found a very nice aluminum knob for the KX2 being sold on eBay by a gentleman
in Winterport,ME.
The tracking item nr. is: 264113321673.
