Tnx Wayne for the split bug fix and the AM fix. I've tried the split fix and it works fine. I'll try AM when I get time. I really like the new weight, firmware upgrade. My K3 now weighs 18.7 kilos. I feel better now. You may want to have a menu for the new weight option so it may be turned off

Wayne, does that include if actived due to VOX? No, PTT only. Currently, the DVR output for Tx follows the same path in the DSP as any other Tx audio source, so it is already activating VOX. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

Hope you can get to that soon, since I use the VOX a lot, especially in contests. It's great VOX, I'd hate to have to stop using it. Thanks for doing the PTT bit anyway. -- It is not how old you are, but how you are old. -Jules Renard, writer (1864-1910) On 26 Jan 2009, at 23:18, wayne

The PTT switch will work to stop the DVR, even if you're using VOX when normally transmitting. But yes, this is on the list. tnx Wayne N6KR On Jan 26, 2009, at 3:38 PM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Hope you can get to that soon, since I use the VOX a lot, especially in contests. It's

Actually, Lyle just looked into using VOX to stop the DVR, and he seems to have now implemented it at the DSP. I'll get it into the next MCU revision. 73, Wayne N6KR David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Yes, thanks Wayne Lyle, I realised I could do that, have to get the footpedal out again :-)

I'd be interested in having the DVR TX audio still play at (some volume). Perhaps a DVR MON level or at volume POT level. I often have my monitor level at 0 for SSB but when I press DVR TX I kinda expect to hear it. However I like to have it at zero so as to guarantee feedback mitigation.

Activating PTT durring the pause between repeating DVR playback, does not stop playback. It would be nice to stop repeat playback with PTT, when a station returns your call between transmissions. Bob W9RFS wayne burdick wrote: Actually, Lyle just looked into using VOX to stop the DVR, and he

I just tried shutting down the DVR TX by tapping my keyer and that doesn't seem to work... Tapping the key transmits when in SSB mode so it seems to reason that I would be able to interrupt DVR TX using that method. Granted most of the time I'll probably interrupt via VOX but it seems like the

Brett, Unlike the K2, the K3 keying and the PTT are separate. It is PTT (only) that currently stops DVR playback, and VOX de-activation is a coming attraction. I am certain Wayne and Lyle will consider your request that a key tap will terminate DVR palyback, but I cannot speak for their
