Re: [Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT
This is a perfect application for the K-Pod macro buttons. If the K-Pod had dedicated controls that satisfied most users, it would be a K3 front panel. As is, the K-Pod is small so it can be conveniently located and completely user-definable for each individual's needs of their most critical K3 functions. 73, Ed W0YK On Jul 13, 2016 2:42 PM, W0FK wrote: > > W0FK wrote > > When I put the KPOD rocker switch in the RIT/XIT mode, unless I press the > > RIT or XIT switch on my K3S turning the knob does nothing.

So does the same thing happen with both the K3 and K3S? There may be a different program path involved.

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT
Hi Frank: I have been playing with RIT and XIT various tuning rates and cannot duplicate it here. The K3 follows the K-Pod perfectly.

Re: [Elecraft] KPOD RIT/XIT
Turning the K-Pod knob quickly, RIT/XIT frequency does not follow the tuning.
