[Elecraft] [k3] dvr playback question

[Gary Gregory]

It is absolutely pointless to play recorded audio back to the station IF you
are trying to show him how good or bad his/her audio is.

The amount of change in the signal quality between RX and Tx in your own
transceiver is more than enough to alter the sent audio.

Even going to the effort of centering your TxEQ and RxEQ will not enable you
to transmit a true representation of the transmitted audio from the 'other'
station.

It can of course let the sending station know how strong his signal at your
station?

I have heard quite a few stations use various radios and gadgets to play
on-air recorded audio and I have yet to hear one that was a good
representation of the original audio. Again, it is all the perception of the
individual...:-)
