Dick, The K-Pod uses an optical encoder with a ball-bearing drive to obtain both smooth, fast tuning and up to 400 counts per turn. The encoder consumes about 30 mA, and the rest of the K-Pod another 10-20 mA. A battery large enough to handle this for a good length of operating time won't fit inside the pod. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
