I did check just before I sent my note.  The new K-Pod F/W works the same as 
1.09.  At each setting in the K3S (was the same as the K3 I had before), the 
K-Pod tuning rate is one-half of that in the radio.

I bought the K3 in 2009 and the K3S in 2017, and that never changed.

Check again, because that does not match my experience if your K-POD firmware 
is at 1.09 (can't test now, sold both K3s).  If CONFIG:VFO CTS is set to 100 
(or 200?), I'm pretty sure the K-POD knob tunes at the same rate as the VFO A 
knob.  I don't think a power cycle is required.

If Elecraft could do it, I'd like for the K3/K3S F/W to provide the option for 
the K-Pod to tune at the same rate.

Yes, we asked for that years ago, but it never happened, and I don't think it 
will ever happen.  There's just no room left in the K3's limited memory to add 
such complex code now.

Consider upgrading from the K3 to a K4.  K-POD plugs straight in via USB cable 
and works perfectly.
