[Elecraft] KDVR3 message length variation

[Dave]

Ever since it arrived, my 5k serial number K3 has had eight voice memories
which start counting down from 9 seconds when recording

 

Ever since it arrived, my wifes earlier 3k serial number K3 has had eight
voice memories which start counting down from 14 seconds when recording

 

Today I had a play with one of the locals K3 and it also started counting
down from 14Seconds

 

According to Freds book the memories  should be 14 seconds long

 

I looked in the 2012 k3dvr manual , the only mention of the 8 message length
is "1. Messages may be at least 10 seconds long." Whatever that means when
translated!

 

There is no mention in the K3 manual of a config setting for KDVR3 message
length (like my old kenwood had). The only setting is KVR3 present/absent

 

How does one get the full 14S length on the 9S K3? (No, EEINIT does not do
it; been there , done that)
