K-POD LED 4

I purchased another K-POD and on New Years day I connected it to my second
K3S. I programmed it identically to my first one. Both appear to work the
same except the new one has the LED 4 on and on the original the LED is
off. None of my programs were written to control LED 4. To make them the
same, in the Elecraft utility, I tried KPLED4ON; and KPLED4OFF; with each
unit and it had no effect so I still have one K-POD with the LED 4 on and
one with LED 4 off. I tried typing this command in the test area and also
I created a temporary macro button and neither had any effect. How can I
turn this light on or off?

Hi John,
I would check the s/w versions of each of the rigs and kpods to make
sure they are all the same.
try exchanging one kpod with the other and see if the led on stays with
the rig or the kpod.

My guess is the sw in one of the devices is lower than the other device.

I'd use the "Car Talk" method - put a piece of black tape over the LED you don't want to see.

Ralph, as my deceased brother law used to tell me when friends asked such questions they would give the its in the RTFM.  :-)  See page 13 #2.  That should be some guidance.
