[Elecraft] K3DVR vs CW Memories

[Pete Smith]

I've seen that, and can see how it would work.  However, with only 4 
memories, you don't get all the potential variation and 
situation-specific messages that N1MM provides, nor the possibility of 
voicing callsigns or serial numbers (which I don't advocate, by the way).

For example, N1MM gives you 12 messages when running and another 12 for 
S&P, so you can have multiple-length CQs and different queries like 
"Sorry, I didn't get your section" and "Your serial number again, 
please."  Another advantage for phone contesters is that you can 
re-record your Run CQ message on the fly - extremely useful when you're 
running split on 40 and 80, and need to change your listening frequency 
(so I'm told - I'm a CW op myself, almost exclusively)
