KPod stopped working

[Randy Lake]

I just hooked up the Kpod and and get no response to any functions. I read
through the instructions again but am obviously missing something. The data
cable is firmly in place and power is from USB.
K3  Ver 5.50
Any thoughts?

Is the green led under the "On" button lit? If not, perhaps a suspect USB cable? Try a swap.  73, Charles N2SO

OK Randy, that is a bit strange. I would send them an email tonight, so you will be in the queue for response tomorrow. (After 12:00 PM EDT). Describe the problem in detail in your message and what efforts you have made so far to get it to work.   73, Charles N2SO

Hi Randy

From your description, it sounds as though you are hooking up a USB cable
(to something) as well as the cable to the K3 itself.

The power for the Kpod comes through the data cable from the rig so extra
power should not be needed.

Have you updated your K3 to firmware version 5.50 or later ?  Otherwise it
will not work. Likewise you need to upgrade K3 Utility to 1.16.3.11 or
later so you can program the K3 with macros.

I run mine from my 12 volt distribution panel - not from the USB. Has
worked flawlessly since day one.
