Hello John & the Elecraft Gang, I have a similar problem with one of my KPOD switches. (I also use the KPOD for RIT when I'm running in CW and RTTY.) In my case, I have F3 programmed to toggle in and out of Diversity RX. Tap F3 = DIV; Tap & Hold F3 = clear DIV. For many years this worked like a charm, but recently when operating SPLIT, if I tap F3, it clears SPLIT. If I put the radio back into SPLIT, Tap & Hold F3 again clears SPLIT. The same DIV on/off with the SUB button on the radio does not mess with SPLIT. If this function hadn't operated correctly before, I would naturally suspect a programming issue. Could this somehow be defective switches? Reload firmware? BTW: the F3 Tap / F3 Tap & Hold by themselves work flawlessly. Any ideas much appreciated! Jim - WS6X

The K-Pod worked great for RIT control. I tried to use it to occasionally switch my RX antenna in and out but then I was quickly reminded why I do not use this function and instead use the RX ANT button on the radio. I have the F4 button programed so a quick press toggles the RX antenna and a long press switches the radio to 40m. What happens on random occasions is tapping the F4 button will switch the radio to 160m instead of toggling the RX antenna input. It is really annoying to be running stations on 40m and then the radio just jumps to another band. The QSO gets messed up and there is a risk of losing the run frequency. Incidentally a long press of F8 is programmed to switch the radio to 160 and that was definitely not accidently touched. I am unsure of the firmware version. Is this a known problem? Is here a cure?
