Hi Guys,
You may remember I reported an issue with the K-Pod missing key presses
etc. Since it was intermittent you can never be sure you have fixed the
problem. Last night I was having a little play in the 160m contest and
the k-pod started to play up almost 50% of the time so I had to do
something. I picked a snap on toroid out of the misc box I have on the
desk and clipped it on. I have no idea of the value type or anything
else but magically the problem stopped. So it is/was RF getting in down
the k-pod to K3 connecting lead. I am using the factory supplied lead
and since it is quite short and nothing to do with the fact I couldnt
fit more than one turn through the toroid if I wanted to the toroid is
just one turn clipped over the connecting cable.
While I shouldnt say its cured I can say my problems went away for the
rest of the contest that I took part in. Time will tell if the problem
on other bands have gone as well or I may require another toroid.
