You need to solder one end of an 1/8th-watt resistor to an SMD, and the other
end to a via nearby.
Or you could send it to us to do the work. Or you could power the pod from the
radio's 12-V output, or a separate 12-V supply. Powering it from the radio one
way or the other is a good idea since
"Simple" you say. Is this another one of those SMD nightmares? :)

I think they are using pin 6, the one with the 10K resistor, to get +5V
to the pod. So it probably will involve bridging the 10K resistor with
a smaller value.

I totally agree. In the software world it's called spaghetti code -- in

At minimum, you need a data cable (to the RJ jack on beneath the rig's front
panel). This cable can optionally supply power to the pod as well. Or you can
use an external supply.
The USB cable would only be needed when updating the firmware, and even that

The K-Pod datasheet says, "A USB port is provided on the K-Pod for
firmware updates and future station control uses."
Does this mean I can connect the USB cable to my PC only when I want to
upgrade the firmware using the K-Pod Utility?
Or must the USB be always connected?
Thanks, Wayne.
