Jeff makes an excellent point about long data cables. If you decide to try a longer ribbon cable first and are not interested in making your own, buy an RJ45 cable and F-F coupler to extend the Elecraft cable. Be sure to put the Elecraft cable closest to the K3, since it does not have pin 1 connected, and use the RJ45 cable for the rest of the run.
Let me repeat my earlier comment: Macros 1 through 8 are accessed by HOLDING the KPOD switches for more than 1/2 second. Tapping (holding for less than 1/2 second) accesses K3 Macros 9 though 16. That might be what some of the people experiencing "unreliable" switch behavior are doing and not getting the reaction they expect from macros 1 through 8. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of NOEL POULIN Sent: Monday, January 16, 2017 6:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] k-pod data cable Hello, Anybody in this group, using a different length data cable supplied with the k-pod??The cable uses two 6P6C modular male connectors, and requires 5 conductors.. Elecraft supplies a 36" long cable?? I would need longer cable....but wondering if the Pod will be working correctly???
