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

I press my footswitch briefly when I want to stop playing a "M" button recording. I think that's normal behavior for a K3. (I don't use VOX with voice modes. Too many people come into my shack to ask me questions and I don't want my answers to go out over the air.) 73 Bill AE6JV On 1/19/19

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

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
