Subject: [Elecraft] K-pod question

I'm thinking about purchasing a K-pod. My K3 sits flat on a shelf, on its
four rubber feet without the bail extended. Will I have enough clearance
underneath the K3 to attach the K-pod cable, or does the front end of the K3
need to be raised?

Thanks and 73,

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod question

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

You could assign it to a PF key and then make a macro that holds
thatkey and then have the KPod execute the macro.


That's what I said ... assign Function VFO B -> A to one of the PF
keys (e.g. PF1) and use it instead of A/B.  It's actually closer
to the VFO B knob than A/B and easier to reach.

Hi Dave,

You could make the macro be A/B (SWT11) and then A>B (SWT13) which would align 
B with A.

Cheers,

When the K-Pod was first introduced, there was some indication that a

adjust the markers and 'tap to QSY'.

Is this feature available yet, or imminent?

I discovered that the P3 is pretty useful for unassisted search and pounce
in last weekend's RTTY contest - While working one station on VFO-A, I'd
move marker A up to the 'mark' tone of the next RTTY signal up the band. As
soon as the QSO was logged, a tap on the P3 knob would jump to the next
station to work.  Then move Marker A again and repeat. With a little
practice, and the SPAN set fairly narrow, I could nail the tuning every
time, provided I didn't bump the P3 knob when tapping it.

Although that worked well, it was a lot of reaching to the P3. It would be
a BIG improvement if a K-Pod, right next to the keyboard, could control
those functions.

Can it?

 Hopefully, someone from Elecraft will address this question soon, but
 meanwhile here is what I've discovered.
 
 I have two K-Pods, each with firmware 1.02.  When Mike contacted me
 off-list
 about this "D4 always on" question, I replied no, D4 should not be on.  It
 has never been on in my units.
 
 Then, I updated to K-Pod Production firmware version 1.09 today and guess
 what?  Now, my D4 LEDs were on all the time.  Moreover, the K-Pod command
 to
 turn them off didn't work.  In fact, none of the K-Pod commands worked.
 
 I had the latest Production MCU/FP/DSP firmware installed so it never
 occurred to me that maybe the Beta firmware was required.  Nonetheless, I
 installed the latest Beta firmware and the D4 LED extinguished as soon as
 Beta FP 1.26 installed.  And, now all the K-Pod commands work again.
 
 So, if (1) you are a recent recipient of a K-Pod with 1.09 firmware, or (2)
 have updated your K-Pod to firmware version 1.09, you might need to load
 the
 Beta MCU 5.54/FP 1.26/DPS 2.88 firmware if the issues described here
 concern
 you.  As far as I could tell, all other aspects of the K-Pod worked fine
 with K-Pod 1.09 and the current Production K3 firmware versions.
 
 Ed W0YK
 
 
 Mike VE3WDM asked:
 
 Good afternoon, I just connected the K-pod to my K3 for the first time
 after
 updating the firmware to the latest. I noticed that D4 is always on just
 wondering if this is normal?

Re: [Elecraft] K-pod question

[Don Wilhelm]

For those who do not want to load beta firmware, you will have to 
tolerate the problem until 5.54 (or later) is moved to production status.


For those who are cautious about beta firmware, if you want the 
function, go ahead and download it (follow the Beta Firmware 
Installation instructions), and run it.  You can always retract to the 
production level.


At Elecraft, Beta firmware is not "flaky" code.  It simply implements 
the latest upgrades and is out "for test".  If problems are discovered 
with it (what, if anything, was broken by the changes), then it will be 
superseded by another Beta version.  When a good Beta version has been 
determined, it will be promoted to production status.  In other words, 
the beta version is not "in development" and will not be changed with 
the same release number.  It has already gone through initial Alpha testing.


So for those who want the added function(s) more quickly than that Beta 
testing process allows, download and install the beta.  If you find 
problems, report them - that problem seeking/reporting is the intent of 
beta firmware.

Re: [Elecraft] K-pod question

[Ed Muns]

5.50/1.25/2.87 is the latest firmware release.  5.54/1.26/2.88 is Beta 
firmware.  That's the issue.

Re: [Elecraft] K-pod question

[Keith Onishi]

My K-Pod with the latest firmware release does not show such symptom. So D4 is 
always OFF unless sending command to set D4 on.
MCU/FPF/DSP is 5.54/1.26/2.88.

Re: [Elecraft] K-pod question

[Ed K1EP]

My D4 is always on too, as I have upgraded to the latest release. Although
I have had my KPod for a while, I just started using mine regularly. I
thought there were a couple of macros that didn't work right, but I
attributed that to my lack of macro experience on the K3.  I will take a
closer look now and see if the Beta firmware is the fix.

Re: [Elecraft] K-pod question

[Ed Muns]

Hopefully, someone from Elecraft will address this question soon, but
meanwhile here is what I've discovered.

I have two K-Pods, each with firmware 1.02.  When Mike contacted me off-list
about this "D4 always on" question, I replied no, D4 should not be on.  It
has never been on in my units.

Then, I updated to K-Pod Production firmware version 1.09 today and guess
what?  Now, my D4 LEDs were on all the time.  Moreover, the K-Pod command to
turn them off didn't work.  In fact, none of the K-Pod commands worked.

I had the latest Production MCU/FP/DSP firmware installed so it never
occurred to me that maybe the Beta firmware was required.  Nonetheless, I
installed the latest Beta firmware and the D4 LED extinguished as soon as
Beta FP 1.26 installed.  And, now all the K-Pod commands work again.

So, if (1) you are a recent recipient of a K-Pod with 1.09 firmware, or (2)
have updated your K-Pod to firmware version 1.09, you might need to load the
Beta MCU 5.54/FP 1.26/DPS 2.88 firmware if the issues described here concern
you.  As far as I could tell, all other aspects of the K-Pod worked fine
with K-Pod 1.09 and the current Production K3 firmware versions.

Mike VE3WDM asked:

Good afternoon, I just connected the K-pod to my K3 for the first time after
updating the firmware to the latest. I noticed that D4 is always on just
wondering if this is normal?

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Jim: 

This is the announcement made by Wayne with a link to an image of the K-Pod

Hi all,

We've had many requests for a small control panel (or pod) as an extension to 
the K3 and K3S transceivers. We finally got around to it! 

Our new K-Pod is a very compact unit, featuring a precision tuning knob, VFO 
A/B/offset rocker switch, and 8 programmable tactile-feedback switches. Switch 
feedback is provided by activation messages on the radio's LCD, as well as the 
pod's own 4 indicator LEDs and audio tone generator. This multi-modal 
information can help maximize operating efficiency and reduce fatigue during 
extended operating periods.

Typically the K-Pod would be placed next to a computer keyboard, allowing the 
operator to quickly QSY, clear RIT, enter diversity mode, change menu settings, 
etc., without that long stretch to reach the radio's front panel. 

But the K-Pod's flexible interface goes beyond substitution of the radio's 
knobs and switches. In effect, you can design your own customized controls for 
the radio.

Each of the 8 programmable switches has tap and hold functions. When a switch 
function is used, it activates one of up to 16 user-defined command sequences 
that are actually stored in the radio itself, as macros. A single macro can 
accomplish many tasks at once, such as setting up custom splits, configuring 
the receiver or subreceiver for specific situations, sending transmit messages 
at differing code speeds, etc. Macros can be easily created or edited using K3 
Utility, which runs on PC, Mac, or Linux platforms.

The K-Pod has the following features:

* high-quality weighted, soft-touch tuning knob--same as used on the K3S
* same 400-count, ball-bearing optical encoder used in the K3 and K3S
* adjustable knob friction
* 3-position rocker switch to assign the knob to VFO A, VFO B, or RIT/XIT
* 8 programmable function switches, each with tap/hold functions
* simple switch programming using K3 Utility (many examples in K-Pod manual)
* four user-definable LEDs (three of them show knob assignment by default)
* audio tone generator for switch feedback (can be easily turned off)
* USB port for firmware loading and future equipment/computer control 
applications
* simple connection to K3 or K3S--uses the 6-pin RJ-style jack beneath the 
front panel
* flexible power source: rear 12-V jack on the radio, DC barrel jack,
  USB port, or even through the 6-pin data cable, with minor radio modification
  (the latter method results in a single cable to the K-Pod for data and power)
* 3 utility outputs for miscellaneous equipment control applications
  (outputs provide a low resistance to ground when turned on, usable with 
relays, etc.)

The K-Pod's all-steel enclosure weighs a full pound for excellent stability, 
yet measures only about 3.5 x 3 x 1 inches. A highly stable folding tilt stand 
is included to angle the panel for optimal access. There's also a 2-hole RAM 
mount pattern on the bottom for easy attachment to any surface.

I guess my question didn't make it. 

Question is:

Is the K-Pod a kit?

Can't seem to find any reference to that on the product sheet or website. If 
it's been asked here before, I guess I missed it. 

I assumed it is, but...
