During normal operation, the controls on the front of the K3/K3S will have all the control that is needed. There is no need to drill down into the menu for operation.

The menu is normally for setup of your K3 which can be customized to your preferences before any serious operating events.

I wonder what form of operating you are doing that requires constant access to the menu system.

The K-Pod was not intended to alter the menu settings, it is an accessory that allows the operator (primarily contester of DXer) who uses a keyboard to reach the commonly used controls (VFO A, VFO B and RIT) without moving the hands to the radio - it is only a small distance to move the hand from the keyboard to the K-Pod.

Yes, the K-Pod can initiate up to 16 K3 Macros via the buttons. What those macros may be are defined by the user.

So if you are constantly using the menu system for some adjustments during normal operation, it would be wise to write macros that access that menu item(s) from a K-Pod button tap or hold.

Hi there!

Isn't this the niche the K-Pod was supposed to fill?  Fully
programmable external control with additional outputs for station
control?
