K-Pod software 1.09

[Elecraft mailing list]

The description of the update states ":Changes encoder operation to allow the K-Pod to buffer encoder counts to the K3. This helps the K3 and K-Pod remain in sync."


However, that's not my experience. I have the VFO set to 200 CTS, so the K-Pod should match it after this update. However, the K-Pod only moves 100 CTS-exactly half of what the main VFO moves. Tried going to 400 CTS on the main VFO. K-Pod then moves 200 CTS.


Is this the intended result or am I missing something?


Thanks.

Art,

Yes, the K-Pod knob moves at 1/2 the rate of the K3 VFO knob.  It is
intended to be that way.

The software does not change that relationship.  There were counts being
lost between the K-Pod and the K3.  That was what the buffer fixed.

Hi Don,

Wasn't the K-Pod tuning rate to match the K3 rate added to the future firmware list shortly after the K-Pod came out?  I don't understand the design rationale to tune at the 1/2 rate.  I would like to see it match the rate or have a configuration setting.

Mitch,

I recall that the rate difference was discussed and decided to be the
best during Field Test of the K-Pod.
I don't recall any attempts to have the firmware match them.  You would
have to search the archives for that information.
