I've done it. It's not really integrated in any way (at least that I
know of), but you can trigger playback of DVR messages with CAT
commands in your SSB messages. I was surprised recently when I
discovered that hitting Escape actually caused DVR playback to stop
immediately ... perhaps N1MM sends an "RX" command to the K3 on
Escape-press??

The main downside, I suppose, is that N1MM has no knowledge of the
length of the messages (or even that there are messages being played),
so repeating (or dueling) CQs would be a bit tricky.

For basic message playback, without a lot of audio interfacing hassle
- especially for CQing, it works quite well.
