Friends, I use the Kpod to easily access memory and voice keyer messages. The K3 panel is too tight to reliably hit the right button each time and it it is a reach forcing me to keep my arm raised. Also find it handy to tune the K3 as it is again an easier reach. I am grateful that Elecraft finally brought this accessory out. At one time I had given up hope that it would ever be introduced.

I’m a DXer and have always enjoyed busting pileups … especially the big ones that take up lots of bandwidth. IMHO the K3 VFO B knob has always been rather klunky …. Doesn’t spin easily…. Small, etc… so has always been awkward to use it while searching through a large split pileup while trying to find the station the DX is calling….. so I use the KPOD to tune VFO B most of the time…. And it works great …. The P3 and Subreceiver are also really great tools for the big pileups. I use the programmable KPOD buttons a lot …. A few for sending recorded DVR messages (both CW and SSB) …. And others for switching A/B, A>B, Split +2, Split +5, Split/Unsplit, Subreceiver on/off …. And switching power between 100W and 30W (for driving the amp) …. Now that I have a KPA1500 which can do the drive power switching for me when I go between operate and standby there’s no need for the power switching anymore … I love my KPODs Don, N5LZ Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Edward via Elecraft Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 10:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] KPOD Is anybody using the KPOD and if so, seeing it’s benefit? 73, Ed NI6S ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
