[Elecraft] Digital voice recorderfor

Fri Dec 10 04:36:57 EST 2010

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.

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.  Perhaps, Elecraft may wish 
to search for newer components to upgrade the existing KDVR3.

Icom and Yaesu radio or even the MFJ Voice Keyer can record a much longer 
message in at least one of the memories.

Of course, I have no knowledge of the cost of production for a new KDVR3 
with the ability to record longer messages.  If the cost increase in only 
marginal, this feasibility in message length will be an operation convenience to 
operator and hence better marketability of KDVR3.

In the firmware level, I don't know whether it is possible for the operator to 
re-allocate the recording time among the M1-M4 and AF recording.  For example, 
M1-max 30 sec, M2-max 20 sec, M3 to M4 - max 10 sec.  The remaining recording 
time will be left for AF recording which will then be shorten to less than the 
current 90 seconds.

The latest version of KDVR3 only gives 10 sec per M1-M4 which is too short.  
It is not quite enough to record a proper standard CQ calling such as 'cq cq cq 
vr2xmc vr2xmc vr2xmc (phonetics) calling and standing by'

 cheers, 

Johnny VR2XMC

Fred,
  In CQPWIN, I did work out a way to measure the precise length of each 
message so you can have accurate repeat intervals for each message, even if 
they are of differing lengths.  If any logging software types are curious, 
I'll be happy to share the approach taken.
