Adventures in my 20's followed by a steady accumulation of birthdays has
left me with arm/shoulder deficiencies, aggravated by reaching out to
tune and adjust a radio. The K-Pod is the best accessory I purchased for
my very early K3 [S/N 642]. It gets the tuning and 95% of the switch
functions I ever use right down at my left next to the mouse and
paddle. I can rest my arm on the arm of the chair which saves the wear
and tear on it and my shoulder.
I also operate W7RN [K3] remotely with the RemoteRig interface, and the
K-Pod tuning knob remotely tunes just fine but the switches don't work,
probably because there are no macros loaded into the remote radio?
I also purchased the Digital Voice module which I've used at least 2
times, forgetting that the only time I get on Phone is on 2 m and 70 cm
from my truck. [:=)

The K-Pod is an accessory control panel that's ideal for use with the K4. It
provides 16 switch functions; control of VFO A/VFO B/RIT-XIT offset; and three
general purpose open-drain outputs for station control. You can use the K4's
macro editor to create command sequences to assign to K-Pod switches.

Revision F of the K-Pod owner's manual now provides complete instructions for
use with the K4 transceiver. The manual can be found here:
https://ftp.elecraft.com/K-Pod/Manuals%20Downloads/E740285%20KPOD%20Owner's%20Manual%20Rev%20F.pdf
K-Pod firmware was also recently updated: Rev. 1.12 lets you configure the
K-Pod's encoder to have the same resolution as those on the K4 (up to 400
counts per turn).
