[Elecraft] [K3] Looking for feedback on K3DVR

[Ian - Ham]

Gary,

 

The delay I referred to originally is not between message cycles. It referred to the following: Press M1 to play CQ message -> Wait 1 second -> Message finally plays -> Wait another second -> DVR releases transmit so you can hear answering stations on receive.

 

I apologize if my original request caused confusion.

 

Thanks and 73,

 

--Ian

OK. I'll admit to being confused. If there is no delay (Press and HOLD M! if that is where I placed my voice recording) why would you NOT want a delay, which is adjustable?

 

If there is no delay, how do I answer your call?....you will be transmitting again so will not hear me?

 

When contesting, I set my time between Play-receive-play at 4 seconds to allow me to hear somebody calling me. Am I missing something here?

 

Maybe this explains some stations not allowing enough delay or receive time between calls so that i can't get my call out quick enough for them to hear me before they transmit again.

 

Just curious.

 

To me the KDVR3 is essential for me, had it since day one 8 years ago.

 

Gary

Charlie,

I meant KDVR3. I changed the nomenclature reference in the body of the
email, but forgot to change the subject line. My apologies for the
confusion.

73 de,

Who exactly IS K3DVR ?

Wasn't he the guy who invented the famous "Downspout Vertical Radiator"
antenna and changed his call when his company went public?

There's no listing on QRZ.COM <http://QRZ.COM>  for that call, so I assume he's an SK now.

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.
