Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR issue
Pressing the PTT will stop the KDVR and I wonder if a noise in the shack that trips the VOX might do the same thing!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR issue
I press my footswitch briefly when I want to stop playing a "M" button recording. I think that's normal behavior for a K3. (I don't use VOX with voice modes. Too many people come into my shack to ask me questions and I don't want my answers to go out over the air.) 73 Bill AE6JV On 1/19/19 at 5:36 PM, n...@widomaker.com (Nr4c) wrote: Is it possible that you have VOX turned ON or bumped a PTT or FOOTSWITCH? - Bill Frantz| Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like 408-356-8506 | a fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master.

[Elecraft] K3 DVR issue
I am not sure why VOX would affect the DVR? On SSB I use a KDVR3 activated by my computer's F-keys and my VOX is on 100% of the time.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 DVR issue
Is it possible that you have VOX turned ON or bumped a PTT or FOOTSWITCH? I’ve had the KDVR in a K3 since 2009 and my K3S since they began shipping (S/N 10069, very early s/n). I’ve never had any issue like you describe. Have you contacted Elecraft customer support?

[Elecraft] K3 DVR issue
Today during the NAQP I experienced occasional strange behavior with a new KDVR in an updated K3 . . . wondering if this has happened to anyone else. The recorder works just right 98% of the time. Randomly, it hangs up in the middle of a recorded message. It just stops. No audio, no RF, but the K3 remains in transmit mode. Sometimes tapping the same M button again restarts the message from the beginning and all is well. Sometimes, nothing has any effect - nothing will get the rig out of transmit other than a power down. And then all is well again for a while. This happens on more than one of the memory buttons, and it happens whether I tap the M button or the corresponding programmed button on the K-Pod. It is infrequent, intermittent, and of course happens at the worst times. On one and only one power-down I saw ERR-DVR. Re-recording messages doesn't fix it. The K3 has F/W revision 5.64, which may be one revision behind. Anyone else experienced this or have an i dea what the problem is? Tnx for any advice . . .
