K3 DVR question

I just installed the DVR module in my K3, and I have a question on how to use it:

I like leaving the "AF REC" turned on full time, as I find it very useful to "instant reply" a call sign or something else significant....

I also like using the voice memories - for example "kilo three whiskey oscar whiskey" is probably permanently recorded as "M1."

Those two items, however, seem to not work well together. If I have AF REC turned on, when I press M1, instead of the radio TX'ing my callsign, the radio just mutes for a few seconds without transmitting anything at all (and it has the side effect of turning OFF the AF REC.) (If I turn AF REC off first, the M1 memory works as expected.)

Is there any way to use the voice memories while also recording via AF REC?

Thanks
Gary / k3wow

Re: K3 DVR question

I don't think there is currently a way to do this. Your best bet is to
email Wayne and ask that it be added to the list.

The DVR can record or play, but not both at the same time.
