...My DVR seems to work, but I have not been able to find
any instructions for operating.
From the latest beta firmware release notes [with slight editorial from
me ]:
Support for Digital Voice Recorder option (KDVR3):
Note: The following information is more accurate than the DVR
instructions in the K3 rev D owner’s manual.
* DVR ICON: The DVR icon (dual arrows--above the S-meter) turns on
whenever the DVR is in use. The icon flashes slowly during all record
operations, and quickly during play.
* DVR TX MESSAGES: Message record, play and repeat are functional.
(Message chaining will be added in a subsequent release.) To start voice
message record, tap REC, then tap M1-M4. Record will start immediately.
Tap M1-M4 again to stop recording. To play a voice message, tap M1-M4.
To repeat a voice message (e.g., a CQ), *hold* M1-M4 rather than tap.
Message play or repeat can be cancelled at any time by tapping REC.
[ note: be sure the MIC Gain is set for 5 bars of ALC on voice peaks to
get the recording level correct.]
* DVR RX LOOP: Hold AF REC to start receive-audio recording. Hold
AF REC again to stop record. Up to 90 seconds of audio can be recorded;
beyond this, earlier audio will be overwritten. Hold AF PLAY to start
playback; press any switch to stop. VFO B will show the playback
position in seconds, relative to the most-recently recorded audio
segment. During PLAY, you can move forward/backward through RX audio
loop buffer by rotating VFO B. An asterisk (*) beside the seconds
counter shows the extent of the most recently recorded segment. Note: It
is OK to record received audio continuously; this might be useful as a
way of catching audio events that you wish to examine later. Record will
continue even if you transmit. However, at present, silence is recorded
for the duration of any transmission.
* DVR RX LOOP PLAY IN TX MODE: First, enter voice transmit mode by
holding PTT or tapping XMIT. Then hold AF PLAY to start playback, and
press any switch to stop. CMP (speech compression) is automatically
disabled. Note: Playback volume of the RX loop buffer during TX mode is
not yet adjustable.
