[Elecraft] [K3] Looking for feedback on K3DVR

[Fabio IZ4AFW / NZ1W]

Hi guys,
   I have my KDVR installed since my first K3.
My activity is 99.5% contesting... my best spent bucks definitely, in
particular if you're going to be low power.
No delays for me. Just need to be quick when you press the buttons, as the
recording starts immediately. The same applies for ending the
recording...usually after a few tries you get used to this.

I only miss two features:
- uploading and downloading audio from the PC would be great;
- Setting the repeat delay resolution to 1/10th of a second would be better
than the current setting of 1 second resolution (even 0.5s would be ok)

Just my 2 cents

Ciao,
  Fabio
