I have a K3S running FT8. KPod attached but no power connected. This K3S does not have
the front panel power mod. The KPod is connected to the front panel with the appropriate
cable. While running FT8, I was getting strange intermittent errors. I received
"ERR KP1" which I learned was related to the KPod and also some sort of macro
appeared to be operating (message flashed briefly on the K3S) and the K3S VFO changed
occasionally during transmit. All of this without touching the KPod. The solution was to
disconnect the KPod. What is curious is that the KPod was not powered - at least not by
an external supply. Perhaps the KPod was partially active while plugged into the front
panel but no lighting or activity on the KPod itself. The K3S has the most recent
firmware (5.67). I do realize that providing power to the KPod is an appropriate next
step.
Anyone have experience with this?
