I've noticed one possible issue using the KDVR3, wich I've installed today. The PTT is controlled directly by the radio, so basically when you go for playback the radio goes on TX automatically. This is a problem for us, cause on our VHF station we deal with an external sequencer who manage to do the timings for relays, PA and the mast mounted LNA. We use a foot switch to drive the sequencer and the radio PTT is controlled via the external PTT socket. At the moment the radio doesn't even allow you to go playback if it is already on TX. In any case, even if this was possible it would have been a source for possible troubles, cause you have to rely on the smartness of the operator who must remember to start the PTT sequence well before pressing the playback button. It would be better, in a case like this, to inibhit the playback button to control the PTT. This should be an option in the config menu, as if you are not using any external device, having the K3 going TX with a single pressing of a button is quite cool. These were my 2 Cents on the topic.
