K3 DVR anomaly

K3 DVR anomaly

I use the M1-M4 CW & DVR voice memories in my K3 to store various messages. I'm
using software versions MCU 4.39 / DSP 2.73 .  On CW, pressing the same or
different memory button while a message is playing will result in the two
messages being chained, as they should be. However, when the same is tried with
the voice memories this does not occur. Instead of the audio in the two memories
playing sequentially, only the first memory is played. This is followed by a
period of silence before the K3 switches from transmit back into the receive
mode.

The amount of silence depends on the length of the recording in the memory of
the 2nd button that is pressed. I recorded a 2 second voice message in M1 and a
6 second message in M2. During the playback of the M1 message I pressed the M2
button. After the M1 message ended, there was 6 seconds of silence before the K3
went from transmit back into the receive mode. Again, the amount of silence
depends on the length of the message in the second button that is pressed.

I believe that this is a bug and not a feature :-). Are others experiencing the
same anomaly?  If at all possible, please modify the K3 DVR software so it
allows the chaining of voice messages in the same manner as CW messages.
Thanks.
