Re: [Elecraft] [K3] CW Message Memories

2016-01-19 Thread Ken 

Computers are known to confuse people.

You said "to load some messages into the CW memories."  Those are 
different than than **macros** associated with the buttons on the K3.   
To program the buttons, you need to use the "Command Tester/K3 Macros" 
tab in the K3 Utility, NOT the "terminal" tab.


Yes, it's confusing.

At first I thought it wasn’t but I used the K3 Utility to load some messages 
into the CW memories.  Then I placed the K3 into test mode and CW mode.  When I 
press any of the M1-M4 keys I get the message  “NO DVR” in the VFO B area.  So 
is the KDVR3 required or am I doing something wrong.  Neither the K3 manual or 
the Cady book have helped me understand this.  Neither says the KDVR3 is needed 
and the KDVR3 manual only talks about voice recording which implies it is not 
involved with CW message memories.

You nailed it.  That took care of it.  I forgot that I needed to press A>B 
twice.

Thank you

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] CW Message Memories

2016-01-18 Thread Bill Conkling 
You are correct that the KDVR3 is not needed for CW messages.  However, you 
must be in CW mode (or one of the two DATA sub-modes PSK-D or FSK-D) for these 
messages to work.  And, if you are set to SPLIT operation, VFO B must also be 
in CW mode.

They also work in TEST mode.  However, be careful, my K3S MODE button is more 
fussy than the button on my K3 and sometimes when trying to get the TEST mode, 
I press the  button not quite right and it goes to SSB/LSB so that when I press 
it again, now i’m in TEST mode, but in SSB instead of CW.
