IMHO, the primary advantage of the K-Pod is the weighted knob and corresponding 400-count ball-bearing optical encoder. It's the exact same knob / encoder used with the K3. You can tune the K3 remotely (up to the length of the cable) with the exact same "feel" as if you were turning the VFO A knob on the K3. Of course, in order to pull this off, the K-Pod must seamlessly support 400 counts per revolution (which is still TBD).
You're absolutely correct in that the P3 supports up to 50 macros. In conjunction with a keyboard, you have macros coming out of your ears. In this scenario, the K-Pod programmable switches are definitely secondary. Not to mention the fact (as I understand it), the K-Pod won't control the P3 markers. 73's Joe Stone KF5WBO -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-K-pod-uses-tp7619860p7620056.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
