Hi Fred, Thank you for your detailed response. I am able to get my K-Pod to behave as you described. However, the 'F3 power up' seems to work intermittently. I must cycle the radio and K-Pod to get the tuning rate change to take place. Re-powering the K-Pod only does not seem to consistently change the tuning rate. I am looking forward to the firmware upgrade that will allow the K-Pod to have the same tuning rate as the K3S (instead of 1:2 or 1:4).
Happy Thanksgiving! Marty - N1VH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Marty, I don't remember seeing any response to your question so here is what I have found with my KPod: The K3's tuning rate is determined by VFO CTS, FST and CRS and there are two fine rates (1 Hz and 10 Hz) and a course rate (100 Hz) depending on the FINE/COARSE switch. So when my CTS is 200, the K3 tunes 200 Hz, 2 kHz and 10 kHz per revolution. The normal power-on KPod tunes 100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 5 kHz per revolution. (it divides by 2). Holding F3 when power-on the KPod tunes 50 Hz, 500 Hz and 2.5 kHz per revolution (divide by 4).

The release notes state "Adds a power-on feature: if the F3 button is held during power up the K-Pod encoder uses a divide by 4 scaling factor." I do not notice any difference when powering up holding the F3 button. What is the 'F3' power-up supposed to do? I thought it might address the 4X VFO knob speed difference between the K3 and the K-Pod (my K3s VFO is still 4X faster than the K-Pod). Thanks.
