K-POD LED programming

[Elecraft mailing list]

I'll ask this again: how does one program the 4 LED's on the K-POD. D-1 through D-3 are assigned by "default" to the rocker switch, which would imply that they can be changed. D-4 just sits there darkly staring at me with no ability to be programmed. On page 5 of the manual the caption states "LEDs D1 through D4 programmable to indicate status of K3 functions". My question is: how????

Ed,

The answer is "later".

The Utility to make those LED assignments has to be created.

For now, the LEDs "do what they do".  Later on as resources become
available to work on that task, you will be able to program them.

This is one case where the manual is ahead of the implementation.
It *is* coming.

Note that there is nothing in the current K-Pod "advertising" to
indicate that the LEDs are programmable, so there is no deceptive
advertising going on.

Both the K-Pod web page and data sheet state,

    Three of the unit’s user-definable LEDs indicate rocker switch position, by default.

The manual states,

    LEDs D1 THROUGH D4 PROGRAMMABLE TO INDICATE STATUS OF K3s/K3FUNCTIONS

Clearly, Elecraft isn't trying to be deceptive.  They'll certainly deliver on this functionality in a timely manner.  But I can understand why someone would think the LED's are (currently) user-definable / programmable.
