Hopefully, someone from Elecraft will address this question soon, but meanwhile here is what I've discovered.
I have two K-Pods, each with firmware 1.02. When Mike contacted me off-list about this "D4 always on" question, I replied no, D4 should not be on. It has never been on in my units. Then, I updated to K-Pod Production firmware version 1.09 today and guess what? Now, my D4 LEDs were on all the time. Moreover, the K-Pod command to turn them off didn't work. In fact, none of the K-Pod commands worked. I had the latest Production MCU/FP/DSP firmware installed so it never occurred to me that maybe the Beta firmware was required. Nonetheless, I installed the latest Beta firmware and the D4 LED extinguished as soon as Beta FP 1.26 installed. And, now all the K-Pod commands work again. So, if (1) you are a recent recipient of a K-Pod with 1.09 firmware, or (2) have updated your K-Pod to firmware version 1.09, you might need to load the Beta MCU 5.54/FP 1.26/DPS 2.88 firmware if the issues described here concern you. As far as I could tell, all other aspects of the K-Pod worked fine with K-Pod 1.09 and the current Production K3 firmware versions.

I noticed that D4 is always on just wondering if this is normal? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
