Re: [Elecraft] Digital voice recorderfor
Can I suggest the 'and standing by' be dropped then, I always feel it's kind of superflious! By calling CQ, people just assuming you are standing by for a response, otherwise why would you have called CQ? If you feel the need for something to indicate the end of the CQ call, how about QSX (I am listening for) or QRV (I am ready). Then your message would be: 'cq cq cq vr2xmc vr2xmc vr2xmc (phonetics) QSX' 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108 -- The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes a wrong one.

Re: [Elecraft] Digital voice recorderfor
Would it be possible to allow an option where two of the memories might be combined to give a 20 second period with only one button being pressed to play back. I am fortunate here to have 15 second memory and so it is not a problem for me. The K3 is much better than my other rig with built in memory in which two of the memories are only 5 seconds long for phone recording. Whatever the length we will always want more but fifteen seconds does seem to be very adequate while perhaps ten seconds is tight. 73 Doug EI2CN -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Johnny Siu Sent: 10 December 2010 02:36 To: Andrew Faber; k6...@foothill.net; Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Digital voice recorderfor Hello Gentleman, If possible, it is always convenient to have the ability to record longer message say 20-30 secconds in one of the M1 - M4.
