[Elecraft] KDVR3

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find much information on the utility of the 
KDVR3.  There doesn't seem to be any published specifications.

The last page of the installation manual refers you to "detailed 
instructions for using your digital voice recorder are included throughout 
the K3 Owner's Manual".

Well not a lot of detail there either.  p29 is as good as it gets and that 
offers more questions than answers:

1.    How many seconds of recording.
2.    It is stated that "recording starts at the beginning of available 
space each time it is started, and will stop at the end if not terminated 
sooner".  This would imply that memory is not divided equally between 
M1-M4 but is dynamically available, depending upon the length of the prior 
recordings.
3.    How is memory erased.
4.    I assume that if recorded received audio on playback is heard on the 
K3 speaker/phones it can also be sent to line out to enable archive on a 
PC.

Don't you just hate those buttons that flash up a not installed message. 
Fitting the KDVR3 would also offer a good excuse to do the front panel 
microphone circuit mod whilst the front panel is in pieces again.

Regards,
