K-Pod VFO B
Locked
 
|
Noticed something today that surprised me at first. When the K3’s VFO B area display is set to the clock and etc. function, and the K-Pod rocker switch is set to VFO B, the K-Pod knob rotates through the display items and does not control the VFO. As I thought about it, that does make sense – the VFO B knob itself controls one or the other depending on how the display is set. I assume, then, that the K-Pod’s encoder output is superimposed on the K3’s encoder B rather than having its own entryway into the VFO. It’s not a big problem, but it would be nice if the time and etc. display could stay visible yet have the K-Pod control VFO B’s frequency. When using a P3 with the K3 in split it’s not always necessary to have the VFO B frequency shown in the display area. Is there some way to have one’s clock and B it too?

Ted,
On the K-Pod, with the rocker switch in the VFO B position, it will do whatever the VFO B knob on the K3 will do. If you have VFO B Alternate Display up, it will rotate between the Alternate Display items, just like the VFO B knob would do. You could create a macro that would switch the display from the alternate VFO B display to the frequency display and use a K-Pod F button to activate that macro. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/5/2017 7:10 PM, Dauer, Edward wrote: > Noticed something today that surprised me at first.

Neat idea, Don. Thanks! It wouldn’t create a simultaneous display but it would allow the display toggle from the same place where the K-Pod’s VFO B knob is. The macro would be a cinch – I think it would just be SWT08; emulating a tap on the DISP button, assigned to an unused tap or hold on the K-Pod. [that’s a semi-colon after SWT08 – they don’t always show up that way in the reflector message.] I’m not in a place where I can test it tonight. Will try it tomorrow.
