[Elecraft] . K3 dvr playback distortion

[Mike Rodgers]

If you mean using the k3 dvr to record someone and play it back to them, that's a old problem Elecraft said they would address a year or so ago!!!!!!!

There needs to be a way to adjust the level and there is not at present. 



Recently got feedback from John, ON4UN (also has K3) that his audio
playback from my K3 DVR was "horrible". He played my recording of him back
to me and in fact it was pretty bad. Signals were solid. I have heard a few
other such reports about my K3 DVR playback. I cannot currently remove the
transmit equalizer (works great as set with my voice and Heil 781) for each
playback. ON4UN suggested using ESSB and setting up no transmit
equalization and to switch back and forth.

A couple questions emerge from this:(1)Is there a way to bypass the
compression (mine is set at 10) and equalization with current setup during
DVR playback until a firmware change is made on this issue? (2)Could I have
a correctable situation that a currently available adjustment might improve
or solve? (I do not think it is possible to adjust DVR record* or* playback
levels and ALC levels appear high on playback) Any similar experiences or
advise?
