[Elecraft] [k3] dvr playback question

2011-08-14 Thread Mike Rodgers
I thought the question was in regard to recording another ham on the air and 
playing it back to him over the air?

It was said the alc was sky high thus the playback not being a accurate 
representation with no way to adjust except rf gain trial and error. 

I have not used my dvr for that but find it hard to believe that it's not come 
up before? And Lyle thanking the gentleman for bringing it to his attention. 
Surely there's got to be operators doing this successfully. No?

Of course I could have totally misunderstood the question.

Re: [Elecraft] [k3] dvr playback question

I have sent on air recorded audio of a station
back to them successfully
but my alc only shows about 7 bars when I do so

I'm also curious where the K3 determines the level
at which it retransmits that recorded audio?

perhaps it has something to do with the level of the audio
being heard over the speakers/phones by the operator
when the recording is made??

It is absolutely pointless to play recorded audio back to the station IF you
are trying to show him how good or bad his/her audio is.

The amount of change in the signal quality between RX and Tx in your own
transceiver is more than enough to alter the sent audio.

Even going to the effort of centering your TxEQ and RxEQ will not enable you
to transmit a true representation of the transmitted audio from the 'other'
station.

It can of course let the sending station know how strong his signal at your
station?

I have heard quite a few stations use various radios and gadgets to play
on-air recorded audio and I have yet to hear one that was a good
representation of the original audio. Again, it is all the perception of the
individual...:-)
