I agree.
The information that can be retrieved through the Hampod is very useful, also some control of the rig using it.
The most useful is the ability to read the config and menu settings.
It is a bit expensive, and here in the UK we have to pay import duty on it.
My long-suffering wife is now relieved of the duty of reading the K3's display!

Subject: good hampod experience

As some of you know, I've been using the Elecraft K3 with the K3 reader from 
N6dq.  It makes for a very accessible setup.  Anyway, because of a wonky 
power strip and my ineptness, I blew the pic chip in the hampod.  I called 
Rob and he immediately sent not 1 but 2 replacement chips which I had in a 
couple days and He didn't charge me a cent.  When I emailed to thank him, he 
mentioned that he had just picked up a used Elecraft w2 power and swr meter. 
It has a serial port on it so he's writing code to make it talk to the 
hampod.  So there's one more access solution.  His web site is:
