[Elecraft] DVR used with contesting software (N1MM)

[Ron W3ZV]

Trying to figure out a problem. I spent this weekend on the PA QSO 
Party. I use the K3 DVR for CQ, MyCall and QSL, TU, QRZ messages, 
activated by N1MM macros. When things slowed down I used repeat CQ. I 
have a serial port activating PTT with canned messages and my footswitch 
for live mic. This is my first outing with this setup. I had previously 
used PTT via CAT control for canned messages.

My problem is that when I activated my foot switch close to the time the 
repeat CQ was scheduled, I was interrupted by the CQ message when I 
began to talk. If the repeat CQ was not imminent, no problem

I don't know if this was a PTT race condition, or a software problem 
with the contest logger.

Any insight would be appreciated.
