The K3 and K3S both use all 400 counts of the VFO A and B encoders (100
pulses/track/revolution).
The K-Pod defaults to 200 counts. During our testing we found that this
provided the best compromise between precision and "fussiness" for typical
K-Pod operations.

Hi Frank:
I have been playing with RIT and XIT various tuning rates and cannot

Since it's only in RIT/XIT, I wonder if you got a bad rocker switch with

No additional programmer's manual should be necessary.
The K-Pod simply calls on the macros already stored in the K3.
