K-Pod CTS to match VFO
Locked
 
|
Hi all,
When the K-Pod first came out, it was mentioned that the CTS of the K-Pod was 1/2 of the VFO. That is still the case. Case in point: Set VFO CTS to 200. K-Pod CTS is only 100. Could the developers PLEASE write the code to allow the K-Pod to operate at the same CTS as the VFO? It would certainly be appreciated here. 73, Art KZ5D ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

As I recall, most of the K-pod field testers thought the reduced CTS was
beneficial given the placement of the knob. Of course, they were most all CW contesters who wanted a slower tuning rate. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/27/2018 10:07 AM, Art via Elecraft wrote: > > When the K-Pod first came out, it was mentioned that the CTS of the K-Pod was 1/2 of the VFO.

Art,
I've been for this too. Wayne said a couple years back that they were going to add this to the firmware. I guess we're the only two K-Pod owners that want this. I'm not calling this a major enhancement request but it would be a nice one. 73, Mitch NWØM -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I’d like the option.

Count me in if it's an option.

If Elecraft chooses to make this available, **please** make it optional. I personally prefer it the way it is, but I certainly understand how others would want it to track the main VFO, and I understand their arguments as well.

To the contrary, I was a K-POD Field Tester, and requested (on June 1st,
2016) that the K-POD Counts Per turn (CTS) match the K3 tuning rate (CONFIG:VFO CTS). I was promised that it would happen some day when there was a K-POD Utiolity. But the K-POD is still fixed at 200 "tics" per turn. At least two other contesters at the time also complained about the K-POD turning rate. 73, Bob, N6TV On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 9:48 AM Don Wilhelm <[hidden email]> wrote: > As I recall, most of the K-pod field testers thought the reduced CTS was > beneficial given the placement of the knob. > > Of course, they were most all CW contesters who wanted a slower tuning > rate. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 9/27/2018 10:07 AM, Art via Elecraft wrote: > > > > > When the K-Pod first came out, it was mentioned that the CTS of the > K-Pod was 1/2 of the VFO.

Bottom line for me... As soon as the CTS is configurable, I will buy one.... and likely not until.
