Wayne, Absolutely. Apologies the frustration at not having the DVR was huge as I had a voice keyer I home brewed but I had assumed the KX3 had it included, which I now know it did not, grrrr!
I am QRT from 6W and C5 and back in UK, unfortunately I did loose the voice for couple days, or rather spoke very quietly but activity on cw increased in C5 as conditions were lousy for a few days. I did/do love the KX3 btw... I am trying to figure out if I can obtain a second one as a 'spare' rig as when you are the DX and solo it is IMHO essential. Probably would manage without the internal ATU though in the second as I have a T1 and would take that, or swap the ATU from one rig to the other. One major niggle was it was very hot and humid was the power folded back several times, only additional cooling helped. I will add a finned heatsink, in place of the thick strip heatsink and a small copper 1U PC heatsink and fan when I get home as going from 10W to 3W mid SSB pile up was a tad annoying for everyone concerned! BTW I managed to hit DXCC with the KX3 from 6W... not me I managed just 59 DXCC but I gave out 112 DXCC 'slots' so RX stations band/mode covered 112 DXCC, not bad for one week when QRP, and one of those days was just two hours from an IOTA /P with a buddipole :-) 72 Dom M1KTA >________________________________ > From: wayne burdick [via Elecraft] <[email protected]> >To: Dom M1KTA <[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, 27 August 2012, 19:25 >Subject: Re: KX3 DVR > > >Dom, > >We're working on the DVR feature right now.
