It all depends upon how much you change the sound of the audio using the Eq and Compression. If you don't make any obvious changes, your Monitor and On-Air audio from the KDVR3 will sound the same. But, if you are using heavy compression or significant equalization, you'll hear the impact of those setting on the air, but not listening to your recorded message.
Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Like some other threads, I'm baffled by this one. I installed the KDVR3. I recorded some stuff from my Heil headset/boom mic I got from Elecraft [iC element I think, plugged into the back jack] without messing around with any of my audio settings. I played them back in TX TEST mode, and they sounded like I sound to myself in the monitor audio, including audio levels. I played them for a nearby buddy and talked to him. He couldn't tell the difference. In the WPX SSB last weekend, I got 3 unsolicited "Great audio" reports, one from 9K. I have my TX EQ set as Jim, K9YC, has posted here several times, strong low cut and moderate high boost. I'm nearly deaf, so I have my RX EQ for SSB set to try to approximate the shape of my digital hearing aids. It doesn't have near the gain they do, but it does help. I have recorded off-the air [same buddy], and played it back to him on the air, both with my normal TX EQ and with it flat. He can definitely tell the difference. As I said, I'm baffled by this thread. My KDVR3 was literally "plug and play." I first used it in the ARRL SS for the static part of my exchange and CQ. Several people said [unsolicited], "nice to hear recorded audio that sounds like you do." If there's a separate gain control for it in the latest firmware, that's OK, I'll just ignore it. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ 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
