Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR comes and goes?
Let us know what you find. I have a K3S which was sent back to have the DVR firmware updated, not the update we can do, but the one that needs done at the repair center which now shows "dr 02.05". Even after the repair many times my DVR will not work at all or locks in transmit. If I check the FW REVS in CONFIG it will show "dr 00.01" or a variety of other numbers, but not "dr 02.05". If I cycle the power on the radio a time or two it will again show "dr 02.05" and starts working again. You might want to check what you FW version is when the DVR is not working.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - DVR installation question
I use AUDACITY which is a free software, record my own messages, set it to play a loop and let it feed the radio. It can be used for most all modes, SSB and CW. I have several pre-recorded messages which I can easily choose. All that is needed is the free software, and a single USB cable between the computer and my K3S. Set the input to MIC + LIN and turn on the VOX. A few level tweaks and one is off and running. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 4/30/2019 9:17 AM, Dick Dievendorff wrote: Bill: I use mine in DX pileups, as I tend to get enthusiastic and holler my call, which could become tedious to my wife.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - DVR installation question
Did you build your K3? If so, it’s no big deal. You do have to remove the from panel but it’s easy and trust me. The first time you installed the panel it was tricky. But after that it’s not hard at all. FYI: I bought a 10 Watt/ no ATU kit in August or 2009. I went into the thing every weekend till I had all the additions installed. Thought several times about putting a zipper on the top cover! Don’t fret the disassembly/reassembly.

No, I use F2:%GK10 F3:%GK11 F4:%GK12 F5:%GK13 and define these GK commands

Has anyone ever successfully used these CAT commands with WriteLog? I'm
trying to minimize the amount of times I have to reach for the M1 button by
using a function key on the keyboard.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR
The command syntax you used ({CAT1ASC K3_command} is unique to N1MM+. If
you want to use those SWT commands with a different program, you will have
to use the macro syntax appropriate for that program.
The command syntax in Writelog appears to be a bit more complicated - it
looks as if you first have to define key macros in the Writelog.ini file
and then call up those key macros in the function key definitions using the
%G command. See for examples of
how to do this.

Hello,
Has anyone ever successfully used these CAT commands with WriteLog?
I'm
trying to minimize the amount of times I have to reach for the M1
button by
using a function key on the keyboard.

[Elecraft] [K3] DVR repeat operation
I was using a K3 DVR in the California QSO party last weekend, where it provided its usual great performance. I had one issue that might be a simple firmware change. When running a DVR memory in auto repeat mode, for CQing, if the VFO B display is set up to show internal parameters, like supply voltage, it quickly flashes "REPEAT" briefly at the start of each repeat of the message. When displaying the VFO B frequency, it shows "REPEAT" continuously, making it harder to tune the subreceiver. If it just flashed briefly, it would make tuning easier. FWIW, we had 2 K3s and a KX3 in operation at 100 watts. There was very little interference at first, but when the batteries got low, the interference became intolerable. Swapping the batteries for fully charged ones corrected the problem. 73 Bill AE6JV --- Bill Frantz| If the site is supported by | Periwinkle (408)356-8506 | ads, you are the product.| 16345 Englewood Ave www.pwpconsult.com | | Los Gatos, CA 95032 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] [K3] DVR feature request for next firmware release
Hi guys, during contests I often use the K3 DVR in the auto-repeat mode. I'd like to suggest an improvement, i.e. the possibility to adjust the delay not in seconds but in tenths of a second. That would allow a more precise repeat timer... sometimes you need to set for example 2.5 seconds of delay, because 2 could be too fast and 3 too slow. Just my 2 cents for the next firmware release of a great radio!

[Elecraft] K3 DVR, Speakers, and feedback
I always use a headset with my K3 at home. I have the Mon level at 1 or 2 so I can hear the DVR output. As I'm preparing for Field day, I remembered last year we tried to use the DVR while running external powered speakers on the K3. Unless the Mon level was turned down to 0, we would get audio feedback (squeal) when keying the DVR for a CQ. Of course, with the Mon level set to 0, then we can't hear what the DVR is transmitting. I believe we were using the standard hand mic when this occurred. It seems like the mic must have been active when pressing a memory button for the DVR message to play. Am I missing something? Should the mic not be active when playing a DVR CQ? thanks, Oscar, WB5GCX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion
A couple of weeks ago on an 80m EU dx net that I regularly participate in I recorded about 10 seconds of audio from a ZL who the net was working just to give him an idea of how well his nice clean signal was being received here in the UK. He was happy with the playback and a number of UK participants in the net said without being asked that they could hardly distinguish between the recording and the real thing. It's not the first time I've done that sort of thing with similar results. In my view there's not much that needs fixing with the DVR. 73 to all Geoff G3UCK -Original Message- From: Mike Rodgers Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 10:11 PM If you mean using the k3 dvr to record someone and play it back to them, that's a old problem Elecraft said they would address a year or so ago!!!

Re: [Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion
Geoff and all, Currently, there is no way to bypass the equalization for the DVR. When you record someone's off-the-air signal, it passes through your RX EQ settings, and then when you play it back, it goes through your TX EQ settings - so the audio gets hit with the double whammy of both RX EQ and TX EQ in a situation where you do not want any equalization at all. If your EQ settings are all flat, then you can obtain and playback something that represents what you heard, but if you have either the RX or TX EQ settings adjusted for your ears, speaker, headphones, microphone, etc. Then the individual whom you recorded will not be able to hear an honest assessment of how he sounded when you play it back over the air. So yes, any fix will not be applied to the DVR, rather what is needed is the ability to turn off EQ when recording or transmitting previously recorded audio. One would normally want to have the audio pass through TX EQ if it was recorded locally, but playback of recordings made off the air is different and needs EQ turned off. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/23/2012 7:55 AM, Geoffrey Downs wrote: A couple of weeks ago on an 80m EU dx net that I regularly participate in I recorded about 10 seconds of audio from a ZL who the net was working just to give him an idea of how well his nice clean signal was being received here in the UK.

Re: [Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion
Of course you're right Don. More than three years ago I was amongst the first to install a KDVR3 and Lyle too explained the signal paths clearly at the time. I'm simply reporting my experience to try to put things into perspective: when I record a station over the air and play it back over the air, it usually provokes comments from listeners about how well the DVR reproduces the original. This is despite my RX and TX EQ settings (the former minimal, the latter not). Naturally it isn't *exactly* the same as the original but somehow listeners seem to think it gets very near. Certainly no-one has ever reported to me distortion that was not on the original. I know of no other rig on the market that does it better - in fact most cannot do it all. 73 to all, Geoff G3UCK -Original Message- From: Don Wilhelm Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 2:52 PM Geoff and all, Currently, there is no way to bypass the equalization for the DVR.

Re: [Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion
If you mean using the k3 dvr to record someone and play it back to them, that's a old problem Elecraft said they would address a year or so ago!!! There needs to be a way to adjust the level and there is not at present. Recently got feedback from John, ON4UN (also has K3) that his audio playback from my K3 DVR was horrible. He played my recording of him back to me and in fact it was pretty bad. Signals were solid. I have heard a few other such reports about my K3 DVR playback. I cannot currently remove the transmit equalizer (works great as set with my voice and Heil 781) for each playback. ON4UN suggested using ESSB and setting up no transmit equalization and to switch back and forth. A couple questions emerge from this:(1)Is there a way to bypass the compression (mine is set at 10) and equalization with current setup during DVR playback until a firmware change is made on this issue? (2)Could I have a correctable situation that a currently available adjustment might improve or solve? (I do not think it is possible to adjust DVR record* or* playback levels and ALC levels appear high on playback) Any similar experiences or advise? 73 Mike R Sent from my spy ring Amateur/Ham Radio KE5GBC HF Echolink mobile __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion
Hi, I have heard ON4UN on a number of occations fairly recently and found that his audio *is* relatively bad. I suspect that he has an RF feedback problem. Can anybody else confirm this? I have been very surprised that nobody has mentioned this to him on the air, so I have held my tongue on the issue so far. Anyway, in my opinion it's not fair to play back recordings of people's audio over the air. It's much better to record his audio with something that can be captured to a file and send that file to him. Audio deterioriates very rapidly from multiple passes through SSB receivers/transmitters.

[Elecraft] K3 DVR anomaly
K3 DVR anomaly I use the M1-M4 CW DVR voice memories in my K3 to store various messages. I'm using software versions MCU 4.39 / DSP 2.73 . On CW, pressing the same or different memory button while a message is playing will result in the two messages being chained, as they should be. However, when the same is tried with the voice memories this does not occur. Instead of the audio in the two memories playing sequentially, only the first memory is played. This is followed by a period of silence before the K3 switches from transmit back into the receive mode. The amount of silence depends on the length of the recording in the memory of the 2nd button that is pressed. I recorded a 2 second voice message in M1 and a 6 second message in M2. During the playback of the M1 message I pressed the M2 button. After the M1 message ended, there was 6 seconds of silence before the K3 went from transmit back into the receive mode. Again, the amount of silence depends on the length of the message in the second button that is pressed. I believe that this is a bug and not a feature :-). Are others experiencing the same anomaly? If at all possible, please modify the K3 DVR software so it allows the chaining of voice messages in the same manner as CW messages.

Re: [Elecraft] [k3] dvr playback question
It is absolutely pointless to play recorded audio back to the station IF you are trying to show him how good or bad his/her audio is. The amount of change in the signal quality between RX and Tx in your own transceiver is more than enough to alter the sent audio. Even going to the effort of centering your TxEQ and RxEQ will not enable you to transmit a true representation of the transmitted audio from the 'other' station.

[Elecraft] K3 DVR question
I am using the K3 DVR to record the received audio and play it back to the OM on the other side to give him an impression of his audio. Usually third party listeners told me that the recorded audio sounded nearly equal to the original, but last week I recorded a ham friend very close to me and the replay sounded a little distorted when I retransmitted it. It sounded very good in my monitor though. I have seen that the ALC meter was quite high when I replayed the recorded audio, and it could not be influenced by my mic gain and comp setting. Is this normal and intended? 73! de Werner OE9FWV -- Meine Frau ist mit meinem Hund abgehauen. Ich vermisse ihn sehr...

[Elecraft] Elecraft] K3 DVR Audio
Hello, I don't know if this subject has been briught up, if it has please excuse my not seeing it. The DVR for my K3 put in place today has an anomoly. It makes recordings for on the air transmissions fine. But it seems to have what sounds like a popping or staticy presence to the audio. The quality of the audio itself is great. The problem exists whether the K3 is in transmit or test mode. Has anyone had the same experience and a fix.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] K3 DVR Audio
My experience is that the DVR has almost perfect reproduction of the audio. I have not noticed any unusual sounds, nothing that was not in the original input. Note, if you are going to record you CQ and/or EXCHANGE, turn OFF or ZERO out any TX EQ before recording. The TX will add the TX EQ when you transmit. If you record with TX EQ, it will EQ it again when you transmit. The K3/DVR combination can provide excellent audio recording such that the guy on the other end will not know you are not Live. Unlike so many operators on contests that have entirely different sound quality on playback. ...bill nr4c -Original Message- From: Roy Davis [mailto:r...@verizon.net] Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 9:11 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft] K3 DVR Audio Hello, I don't know if this subject has been briught up, if it has please excuse my not seeing it.

[Elecraft] K3 - DVR equalization
K3'ers... When I record messages with the DVR, does the recording use the TX EQUALIZATION settings, or are these only used when the signal is actually transmitted? I have two mics on my radio, and was trying to see how they sounded on playback. I setup the rear mic, and made two recordings. I listened and they sounded good. Now I reconfigured for the front mic, and began trying to get them to sound the same. As I was adjusting the TX EQ on the front mic, and comparing the sound with the recorded rear mic, it seemed that the recordings were being distorted. I felt that the recordings contained some TX EQ AND I was hearing it compounded by the current TX EQ for the front mic. Does this make any sense.

If you'd like to test this for us (quickly, so we can do another beta release tomorrow), please email me directly. tnx Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 3.62, 11-19-2009 * PTT USE WITH DVR: If the KDVR3 menu entry ‘1’ tap option is set to AUTOPTT (the default), then PTT now behaves as follows: - If you start DVR message play first (by tapping M1-M4), then assert PTT during the message, DVR play will be cancelled. - If you assert PTT first, then play a DVR message, it will play normally, and will complete even if you let go of PTT. You can also cancel DVR message play by tapping REC, as usual, whether PTT is asserted or not. (Or cancel from a computer using the “RX;” command – see below.) Note: If the KDVR3 menu entry ‘1’ tap option is set to USE PTT, then PTT is required as a qualifier for DVR message play. In this case, releasing PTT in the middle of a DVR message will cancel it. Remote Control Command Changes: * DVR MSG PLAY CANCEL: You can now use the “RX” command to cleanly cancel DVR message play (as well as any other transmit or message-play function, in any mode). * CONFIG:DIGOUT1 MENU PARAMETER is now accessible with the “MP command.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR in SS
I would guess what you're really asking for is for is for the DVR to play a message if it's invoked when PTT is active and to keep the PTT active even if you then drop it, but to terminate if it's active and then PTT is pressed? That way, it can call CQ, you can terminate it and fill in the gaps with a PTT and then complete the exchange by invoking DVR again and have it go on to call CQ again. That's what I would want too. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- Times are bad.

How the heck do I use the K3 DVR in SS? Sounds easy enough - program the exchange Uniform N6EE 55 Sugar Japan Victor in one of the Mx buttons. OK, fine. But now I answer a come back to my CQ by stepping on the footswitch and saying W3XX Number 123 then press the Mx button to complete the exchange. No message playback. Why? Because the K3 terminates the message if the PTT, VOX, or key paddle are activated. The problem is that I essentially have to drop the PTT, then hit the Mx button - causing a noticeable break in transmission , but even more important, making the coordination of the footswitch and pressing the Mx button critical. I find this unacceptable since I have been known to lose any sense of coordination after hours of contesting (sound familiar?). I have programmed my computer sound card with voice messages in Writelog and it works OK, but I prefer the smooth sound and undetectable difference between the K3 DVR and live mike input. Besides, I paid for the K3 DVR so it could use it in contests. Is there any way around this feature of the K3 DVR?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 -- DVR question
Hello Joel! I recently added a digital voice module to my K3. It does everything it is advertised to do, and does it very well. One question occurs to me. The off the air recording feature is a real plus and will be handy. Is there any way to extract a useful digital copy of the recorded audio in a way that would be downloadable to the connected PC and then stored in an easily recoverable way? I am not hopeful this can be done on a practical basis. The logic would be pretty convoluted. We'd have to snatch a small sample from the DVR Flash, then buffer it in the DSP, then push it out the serial port to a PC, which would need an application written to slurp up the RS232 data. After many iterations we could get the data across. The PC would then need a program to convert the data into some sort of recognizable, raw samples. I suspect a .WAV file is the most likely wrapper that could then be put around it. Thus, it requires MCU code for the K3, plus DSP code, plus a PC program. I know the audio could be resampled and stored using a sound card and PC software, but that would add another A/D conversion. It would be nice to be able to send someone the original data as a PC file of the way they sound, rather than sending it over the air. I suspect resampling would add very little noise compared to the radio link. I suspect this is the best bet, again on a practical basis.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 -- DVR question

[Elecraft] K3 DVR memories
I am able to access the bank 1 memories through N1MM and figured how to access the Bank 2 memories also with N1MM. however when I access the Bank 2 memories (N1MM F5-F8) the F1 key then uses the Bank 2 K3 memories. That might not be clear but what I want to end up with is N1MM F keys 1-8 accessing the K3 memory banks. Anyone successful with this?

[Elecraft] K3 DVR
I have just tried to record a TX message for the upcoming contest. I am able to play back a previous recording but I need to replace it for a contest specific CQ call. I am missing something as I have been unable to record over the original message, or for that matter make a new recording. I have tried as per the manual but to no avail. Short of a slap over the head and NOT holding my tongue right, any ideas as to what I am NOT doing right? 73's Gary Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] K3 DVR repeat
I was wondering how to vary the time/pause between transmissions of a repeating DVR message? It repeats about every 5 or 6 seconds right now.

I think the answer is that it isn't supported at present, but will be in a future f/w release. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination.

[Elecraft] K3 DVR
At present the M2 thru M4 buttons provide shortcuts to the Config menu. I didn't set them up - they just seem to have appeared with various firmware updates. My question is what happens when I install my KDVR3 (to be delivered early in the New Year) ? Are the short cut functions automatically removed or is there some further reconfiguration that needs to be done ? HNY to all.

[Elecraft] K3 DVR not recording
K3 #125 with KRX3 FW: uC 2.73, d1 1.98, d2 1.98, Fl 00.02, dr 00.05 Installed new DVR, Set Config:KDVR3 nor, cycled power several times. Using the information published in the MCU 2.72 release notes. The K3 is in USB mode When I tap REC then tap M1 (or M2 or m3 or m4), the system goes through the motions of recording and count down apparently correctly. I also hear my voice in the monitor. I tap M1 to stop recording. All looks correct so far. Now when I tap M1 to play the message I see a momentary blip on the red TX light but no message playback. If I hold the M1 the repeat message shows up and every few seconds I see the TX blip as the repeat function seems to work. I get the same result with the VOX on or off, TX test mode on or off. Testing the logic using AF REC also seems to go through the motions of recording but when I press AF PLAY the display immediately says END. So it all works but no play back, possibly no recording. The buttons seem to work OK and the CW record and playback work just fine. Any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

[Elecraft] K3 DVR and subRX ship dates
I note that the ship dates for the DVR and the subRX are listed as Oct 20. That's really cutting it close! CQWWDX ssb is Oct 27/28 which means (for NA) that they have to arrive Oct 26 (or sooner). Wonder how many will be requesting FedEx or AIR?
