Nope, the K-pod connects directly to the K3s via an 8-pin flat cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The mouse is a USB wired mouse.

Does the ipod generate a virtual serial port? Do you have a bluetooth mouse? Not quite my setup but I've recently had trouble with a usb serial cable randomly interacting with the Microsoft bluetooth mouse and the serial cable becomes intermittent. The mouse jumps randomly but also makes the serial cable behave strangely. I'm wondering if a similar thing is occurring to you. My solution was to uninstall the mouse from device manager, shut down and restart...win10 pro installs a fresh driver for the mouse. 73 Darrell _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> on behalf of Peter Dougherty <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2019 11:56:15 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Unexpected K-POD frequency excursions Hi all, In CQWW this weekend I ran across a problem that's been plaguing me in previous contests too. With the K-pod connected to the radio (K3s) using the supplied cable I'm finding that the main VFO QSYs down about 100-200 Hz on a random basis. I tried loading the flat cable up with Mix 31 ferrites to no effect. I haven't thoroughly tested this on all bands, but it definitely occurred on 20 through 160. It was not a regular occurrence; maybe every 2-3 minutes it would happen. When I engage the VFO lock on the front panel of the radio it stops doing it. I has also been know to shut the radio off once every few days when I touch the K-pod, which I'm attributing to static electricity. While I love the functionality of my K-pod, I had to take it offline due to the frequency excursions. I'd like to get a fix for this if at all possible.
