K-POD and SO2V

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Can the K-POD be used to tune the 2nd receiver in SO2V mode, say in a
contest?

 

I own an older K3 with the 2nd receiver, but have only used it a couple
times and it remains packed away awaiting the next outing, thus the perhaps
silly question.

 

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Most certainly! K*Pod has a three-position rocker switch that assigns the
knob to VFO A, VFO B, or RIT/XIT. If the second rx is enabled and the K*Pod
rocker is in the VFO B position, the pod knob tunes the second rx, even if
you're not presently listening to it. That's exactly how I operated SS last
weekend and found it relaxing to be able to move my left hand only a few
inches to the left to tune the sub. Go for it!

BTW, I use N1MM Logger which, like some other loggers, uses the tilde key
to turn the sub on and off when in SO2V mode. That's even closer to hand
than the K*Pod. But if you use a logger that doesn't implement that
convention, it would be handy to program a pod button, probably F8 or maybe
F4, to toggle the sub off and on.
