For some buttons, the Pod makes mistakes occasionally. Instead of sending the correct macro, it’ll send a different button programmed one...or send both the tap and hold ones. Mostly just happens with two of the buttons #4 and #5.
My first pod messed up with #1 intermittently and Elecraft replaced it. But this one had a problem with #1 also intermittently. And wisdom on this? I love the Pod anyway.

Why? The K3 already includes all the features of the W3IHY EQ Plus. 73, ...

No good reason to do so -- everything is built into the K3, K3S, KX2, and KX3. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

Make sure you have the latest firmware in the K3.
I had lots of trouble early on with my K-Pod and it took me recording a video clip and sending it to Elecraft before they believed me (sigh). Revised FW fixed it. That was some time ago and most likely you've upgraded, so this probably is a non-issue but one never knows.

I have the latest firmware, and reloaded it. I also rewrote the macros to the K3s. No help. Maybe I'll send it to Watsonville.

It’s kind of like switch bounce, for double repeats, but also does the next button, #5, after the #4 sometimes. When I had the #1 issues, I moved the popular function to #4. Working my way right off the Pod :)

I'll probably raise the ire of the faithful but I'm not too sure that making a
connection to this connector is a good idea in the first place. I'm certainly not an expert on what this is connected to inside the radio, but re-purposing a connection that was put in for factory test purposes and probably not well buffered might be problematic.
