Re: [Elecraft] K-pod CTS to match VFO
It sounds like Wayne understands perfectly. Increasing the CTS count from the K-Pod adds more data load on the RJ45 port, and there may be a question as to whether the port can handle that increase. 73, Dennis NJ6G On 10/8/2018 09:05, Art Suberbielle wrote: Wayne, In reading your reply I think perhaps you are misunderstanding exactly what we are hjoping to see in new software for the K-Pod.

Going from 200 to 400 counts is more complex than it sounds because of system bandwidth limitations at the front panel RJ45 port. We still think it's possible, and we'll both be looking at it when we get a chance. 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

Bottom line for me... As soon as the CTS is configurable, I will buy one and likely not until.

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod CTS to match VFO
If Elecraft chooses to make this available, **please** make it optional. I personally prefer it the way it is, but I certainly understand how others would want it to track the main VFO, and I understand their arguments as well.

[Elecraft] K-Pod CTS to match VFO-What say you Wayne?
Wayne, Is this feature request something we can anticipate seeing before the end of the year? I've had several other replies off reflector asking for it as well. As it stands now, IF I set the tuning rate for the VFO A to be what I want, the K-pod lags behind at half the rate so I can only use the K-pod as an RIT enhancement. IF I set the tuning rate for the K-pod to perform as a VFO, then by touching the main tuning know I QSY at a ridiculous rate. Inquiring minds want to know. 73, Art KZ5D __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod CTS to match VFO
As I recall, most of the K-pod field testers thought the reduced CTS was beneficial given the placement of the knob.
