Re: [Elecraft] K-POD missing a beat

Tony,

That may not be a K-POD problem since the MEM 3 is being shown in the 
VFO B area.
Try to see if you can duplicate the same behavior with your M1 button 
(with the K-POD connected).


If you suspect an RF problem, try it into a dummy load and see if the 
behavior stops.  If it does, some work on your antenna system to reduce 
the RF in the Shack.

Hi All,

I have had the K-Pod some time now and have been more than happy with 
it. I modded the K3 with the 6.8 ohm R so that I only need to use the 
rj45 cable  supplied to connect the K3 and K-Pod together.


I have, being lazy, programmed F3 to simulate M1 which works fine most 
of the time.


When it works I press the F3 and MEM 3 appears on the K3 display and 
the contents of M1 are send (my call in CW). Occasionally only the MEM 
3 appears and the M1 contents are not sent. I know its easy enough to 
just press F3 again and it will work but thats not the point.

[Elecraft] K-POD missing a beat

Has anyone else seen this or similar and found the fix? I thought it 
maybe RF getting in but it happens on various bands so while not 
impossible, it is unlikely (OK prove me wrong).


Looking forward to hearing the theories!
