I agree — the K-Pod is really cool for contesting. I love that the K-Pod can sit right next to the keyboard *and* that it has a goodly number of F-Keys.
I set mine up for CW SS as: F1 - SUB RX On/Off F1H - Diversity On/Off F2 - APF On/Off F3 - NB On/Off F4 - NR On/Off F5 - VFO A/B F6 - RX Ant F7 - F8 - Auto Spot F8H - Tune (tune power set at 20 watts) I used every programmed key enough to justify it’s existence and rarely touched the radio. I also used the VFO A / VFO B / RIT switch a fair amount. I didn’t have to reach up to adjust the radio very much; usually to adjust the balance between the two receivers in diversity mode or tweak the volume. BTW, diversity receive with an RX-only antenna that is cross polarized from the main antenna is magical! CW SS was my first use of my new K3S / K-Pod / P3 / SP3. What a GREAT rig! 73, Doug, W7KF http://www.w7kf.com <http://www.w7kf.com/> > On Nov 22, 2016, at 7:58 PM, Randy Farmer <[email protected]> wrote: > > I installed a new K-Pod on my primary station just before undertaking a > serious effort in Sweepstakes CW.
