[Elecraft] KDVR/DSP/Microphone Connector Issues
Good Morning, This is Mark Griffin, KB3Z. I installed a KDVR module yesterday in which my K3 recognizes that. But I cannot get any power output or ALC when I connect my microphone to the front microphone connector. According to the service people at Elecraft they tell me that the microphone connector in the front is connected to the DSP board. And you must not have one of the pin connector seated correctly. Well, I have taken the K3 apart 4 times and put it back to together again making sure that everything is seated the way it should be and it still will not work. So I connected my microphone to the rear connector and lo and behold it gives me output power and ALC. Of course you need to use the PTT to get it to work. That is the only drawback to that theory. But, I thought I would try PSK/Rtty this morning. So I started FLDigi and connects to my K3 via Digi Keyer II, but I don't see any receive audio on the waterfall display. And I also tried MMTTY and got the same exact thing for Rtty. I did switch the mode to AFSK. Would this issue that I am having also effect the receive audio for PSK31 and also Rtty? I did write an email to K3Support this morning, but I doubt I will hear anything until Tuesday. Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR/DSP/Microphone Connector Issues
Would this issue that I am having also effect the receive audio for PSK31 and also Rtty? Receive audio is on a different connector than the front panel mic audio. However, if the DSP board (or front panel) was not installed correctly (misaligned/bent/broken pins on one or more connectors) it could impact Line Out audio. Connect a set of powered speakers to the Line Out jack and see if you have audio there. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 9/5/2015 11:25 AM, pastor...@verizon.net wrote: Good Morning, This is Mark Griffin, KB3Z.

[Elecraft] KDVR not playing back
My KDVR doesn't play back messages that I've recorded on my microphone. When I press M1 through M4 it starts to play for a second then stops with a noise and displays END. It only does this if TX is enabled; it works fine if TX TEST is enabled. It still records receiver and plays it back OK. The KDVR used to work fine, so this is a new development.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
To my understanding as its been explained before the KDVR records the audio to the memory before the processing but when you play it it is then injected into that same place in the chain and is thus sent through the processing. Therefore you can make changes to the processing settings and replay things and hear the difference. ~Brett (N7MG) (Previously KC7OTG) On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 10:04 AM, Merle Bone merleb...@charter.net wrote: I have a couple of questions about the DVR that I could not find answers to in the manual.

Hi David A simple way of erasing recorded messages would be nice. Blanking the entire message bank would also help.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
Hmmm, Playing back another stations audio seems to be a common request, however, the recording when it is played back is not the true audio being transmitted by the originating station so therefore it becomes kiinda useless. Recording and playing multiple messages is possible using software such as HRD and N1MM Logger if that's any help?

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
Well I wouldn't say useless. I'm sure no recording is *exactly* like the original but I have often played back another station's transmission (eg to help them set up their audio to let them know how they sound over a long distance), and other people listening (eg in the same net) usually say the KDVR3 is pretty close. I believe it's certainly close enough to be of use. Another way of handling it of course is to play the KDVR recording into a PC and email it but that's slower and less immediate. Like you Gary I find the KDVR3 very good. All it needs to make it perfect in my view is the monitor tweak recently (and regularly) mentioned on the list and yes I too would support a way of erasing the AF REC loop.

I often shake my head in disbelief when I witness audio playbacks as a disinterested third party, because what I hear that is being recorded is rarely like what I hear being played back as an example of how the fellow sounds.

The recorder is the least of the worries. Which leads me to a question... In the K3, is the DVR playback run out through the transmitter on a wide bandwidth and perfectly flat so the playback is at least a reproduction of what the receiver wound up creating, or is the playback run though the equalizer at the custom settings of the K3 transmitter's owner? To me, this is one of the silliest ways to adjust audio. An on-site receiver with wide bandwidth and a good set of headphones (or local recorder) is far more meaningful.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
While I can understand why one might think that it would be a benefit to turn off the monitor and just have silence in your ears briefly, I think that once one spends too many weekends with headphones on for greater than half of the 48 hours of a contest over decades, you will begin to understand that having the SSB monitor on - all the time - is an important thing. If your ears need a break, pull the headphones off during a DVR transmission and really give your ears and head a break. It is important because it allows you to hear what you are saying clearly to maintain articulation and also enables you to maintain a level output of your voice - mainly so you don't start yelling into the mic and then suffer distortion and the resultant loss of your voice later on - yes, even when using the DVR. If you must, turn it down to a lower level, but don't turn it off - please! 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Gary Gregory Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 8:28 PM To: Geoffrey Downs Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KDVR Geoff, I didn't know this was on the list but I sure reckon you got a great idea if it is not already on the list.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
It never ceases to amaze me when a suggestion comes up to add a feature that has some practical use, we get a variety of opinions to the contrary and yet I think we all forget that nearly all added features come with the choice of on/off so that those of us wanting a feature added can use it and those that don't want it can turn it off and maintain the status quo. Hi, I for one have not been vocal against any improvement with the K3 when the suggested feature is of no use to me and so I would ask that we all support the ongoing feature enhancement of the K3 by supporting the adding of new features such as Monitor On/Mute for the DVR during playback. I have never caught myself yelling into a microphone because I couldn't hear myself speak and I have used the DVR on playback during a contest with the Monitor turned off. I would prefer to keep it on and muted on TX as MY preferred way of operating. I don't use external boxes either such as microHAM or any other type of interface and not all operators wish to use N1MM Logger or even HRD for that matter. I don't even want a PC connected to the K3 on most occasions and therefore I would not use a PC based DVR. Many K3 owners are casual operators most of the time so many of the contest features are of little use.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
Gary, I did not suggest that the feature should not be added to the K3 nor did I suggest that improvements not be made to the K3. Why do you claim that I did? My point is that in nearly 40 years of SSB contesting, it has become apparent to me that those who use a monitor function to keep track of what they're doing vocally on their air - whether by automated sending or with their own voice A: sound better, and B: maintain coherence better. 73, Bob W5OV -Original Message- From: Gary Gregory [mailto:garyvk...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 6:03 AM To: Bob Naumann Cc: Geoffrey Downs; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KDVR It never ceases to amaze me when a suggestion comes up to add a feature that has some practical use, we get a variety of opinions to the contrary and yet I think we all forget that nearly all added features come with the choice of on/off so that those of us wanting a feature added can use it and those that don't want it can turn it off and maintain the status quo. Hi, I for one have not been vocal against any improvement with the K3 when the suggested feature is of no use to me and so I would ask that we all support the ongoing feature enhancement of the K3 by supporting the adding of new features such as Monitor On/Mute for the DVR during playback. I have never caught myself yelling into a microphone because I couldn't hear myself speak and I have used the DVR on playback during a contest with the Monitor turned off. I would prefer to keep it on and muted on TX as MY preferred way of operating. I don't use external boxes either such as microHAM or any other type of interface and not all operators wish to use N1MM Logger or even HRD for that matter. I don't even want a PC connected to the K3 on most occasions and therefore I would not use a PC based DVR. Many K3 owners are casual operators most of the time so many of the contest features are of little use. This does not mean we don't want the features, just a choice as to when we use them and surely this is not too much to ask.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
I like to have the monitor on very low during its use as at times I have found that: 1) The wrong button was pressed 2) With the OII on rare occasion a poor quality transmission was in progress which I could terminate and restart overcoming the problem.

Re: [Elecraft] KDVR
Aaaah Bob, I was not singling you out and I do apologise if you felt that I was. My remarks were meant only as a General Comment and perhaps were not articulated well. Regardless, I understand that compromises need to be made regarding FW storage etc and so I leave that to the engineers at Elecraft. My preference with the Monitor function remain, whilst it works fine as it is, IF Elecraft feel that it is worth doing a change so that Monitor can be selected to be ON whilst TX from the DVR and OFF when in Normal TX, then I would use that setup rather than the current way it works. As many have previously stated, K3 users are now numbering well ove 4,000 world wide and the number is still rising rapidly so there will be more and more wish list items to surface in the future and again, this is not a bad thing. Wayne and Eric are listening and will always decide what is best for their products but debate is good and I certainly look forward to the future enhancements as they become available, some I will use, many perhaps I will not such as QRQ @ 75wpm...(Grin)...the mind is willing but I would need some serious surgery on the Grey Matter to decode it(:-)) I hope the choice of Monitor ON/OFF on the DVR playback comes to pass..YMMV My 2c...keep the change!

[Elecraft] KDVR issue?
Elecrafters, can anyone double this: If you Replay a message, say M1, tapping the button *twice*, these things happen, depending on how long you waited for the second tap: Tap twice fast (1/2 second pause): Message stops, then plays again. Tap twice with long pause: Messages fully plays, but RX-Audio won't come on for about 1/2 second after message has finished. Let the message play nearly to its end, then tap: RX-Audio won't come on for even longer (felt like this).

I can not reproduce that. Tap twice with long pause: Messages fully plays, but RX-Audio won't come on for about 1/2 second after message has finished. Let the message play nearly to its end, then tap: RX-Audio won't come on for even longer (felt like this). I can reproduce that - it appears that PTT is being asserted for the duration of the message, starting when you last pressed the button, but the audio is not being reproduced. ~Iain / N6ML __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
