RemoteRig Control with K3/100 and K-Pod

[ng7m]

I searched for other threads covering this question, but I couldn't find
anything based on my searching. (my 5 minute effort googling up to see if
this has been covered many times)

I received a shinny new K-Pod today and was excited to play around with it
in the CQWW RTTY where I would be using my K3/100 as an RRC Control to a
Remote K2... with the RRC-1258 setup.

I just assumed that on the control side, the K-Pod would be transparent and
control the control K3/100 and be a pass through to the control side of the
RRC-1258.

It appears I was wrong...  When spinning the K-Pod knob... it does a little
VFO control and then stops.  A bummer for certain... I clearly missed
something some where that explains the fact that there are issues with the
K-Pod controlling a K3/100 as the control radio.  Or in general the K-Pod
won't work with a K3/100 / K3 mini or K30 when hooked up on the control
side?

By the way... the K3/100 control and remote K3 are running the latest beta
5.52 firmware.

Hi Max,

 

I thought in the same way as you, using the KPod with the K3/0-Mini. But I
encountered the same behavior as you.

Elecraft support told me, that the KPod support for remote is on the
firmware wish list. Actually 5.52 does not include this routine.

 

I hope, that we will see a solution soon, the KPod is a great tool.

My only disappointment is that the KPOD will not allow a macro to change the KPA500 state from STBY to OPER. This is really a limitation of the K3S, but one thing I felt should be absolutely essential, especially when remote.
What do y'all think ?
