Check again, because that does not match my experience if your K-POD
firmware is at 1.09 (can't test now, sold both K3s). If CONFIG:VFO CTS is
set to 100 (or 200?),

In the K3, if you change *CONFIG:VFO CTS*, the VFO frequency moves faster
at 400 than at 100 (counts per turn), but the K-POD always tunes at 100 or
200 counts per turn (can't remember which). The K-POD ignores the VFO CTS
setting on a K3.
In the K4, the equivalent setting is *MENU:VFO Counts
"... except for the slow tuning." I must be missing something. My
K-Pod tunes at the same rate as the K3. I have one of the K-Pod buttons
emulating the FINE/COARSE button on the radio ... use it all the time.
Maybe the rates I have my K3 configured for just happen to match the
encoder
I really like the K-POD, except for the slow tuning. Too bad that the K3
firmware "cannot" reprogram it.

Does the selection of encoder rates only apply to the K4?

Right. The macros are stored in the radios, not in the K*Pod. You need to
run K3 Utility at the radio site to load them into the K3. The K4 has a
primitive text editor for on-screen macro entry, one finger typing with no
tactile feedback. Not fun but no computer required.

I’m right handed and use my right hand to send CW as well as to copy. So, the
iPod is particularly convenieent to adjust the radio (especially RIT for
off-frequency responses).
I use it every day… can’t believe how convenient it is!

Adventures in my 20's followed by a steady accumulation of birthdays has
left me with arm/shoulder deficiencies, aggravated by reaching out to
tune and adjust a radio. The K-Pod is the best accessory I purchased for
my very early K3 [S/N 642]. It gets the tuning and 95% of the switch
The K-Pod is an accessory control panel that's ideal for use with the K4. It
provides 16 switch functions; control of VFO A/VFO B/RIT-XIT offset; and three
general purpose open-drain outputs for station control. You can use the K4's
macro editor to create command sequences to assign to K-Pod
