I posted this on Elecraft .io but will try here as well... I love this K-Pod, BUT I’ve sort of worn out 3 of them. The symptom is that the most used buttons get noisy and trigger another macro from another address. When I had the first one do that, I did extensive testing to eliminate rf noise, etc. And a new unit however proved to work perfectly...for about 4 months. When it started doing the same thing Elecraft said it was highly unlikely and especially twice to the same guy, but they sent me another one anyway. Great company! Now that one after a year is doing it again. I rearranged the macros to different buttons of the two macros I mostly use, and it works flawlessly again for me. I doubt that Elecraft will keep sending me these things, but maybe I’m missing something. But all I can come up with is noisy switches, double triggering. No switch bounce protection? I notice now on the Elecraft site that there are PC boards available for about $120. Almost doable if the switches are not available separately, and less expensive than the $290 for a new unit. Has anyone come up with a part # for the original switches? Elecraft...?
