K3DVR alternatives

A K3DVR isn't in the budget right now. I have Ham Radio Deluxe, signalink USB (FWIW), and a computer. Is there something I can do with this combination to mimic the K3DVR? I know I probably won't be able to use the buttons on the K3.

Re: K3DVR alternatives

Don,

Are you planning to use this combination for daily use or for contesting?
Several contest loggers (I use N1MM personally) have the ability to program
function keys to play and transmit .wav files that call CQ, ask QRZ?, etc.
I use HRD for daily use and am not aware of this capability in that suite.
However, look at some of the free contest loggers, as they may fit the bill
for you.

Hope this helps.

73 de,

Probably just when i do a contest, so N1MM is probably the best solution. The reason I ask is I was getting tired of trying to call K1N on 10m this weekend. Hihi.

I use N3FJP's software, and I know he has this capability (and I have used
it in the past) to play a .wav file using a function key from your
keyboard. Easy, peasy.

Also, you might check out the Vocal Keyer by KG4JJH or the commercial
version of the same project, called the LogiTALKER by Idiom Press.

KG4JJH model - http://www.kg4jjh.com/vocalkeyer.html
Idiom model - http://www.idiompress.com/logitalker.php

I did a PCB run for the KG4JJH model a while back (4-5 years ago?), and
there is also a Yahoo! Group for support on this (but it sees little/no
traffic).

Good luck!

I use N1MM and it works FB.
I do off air recordings with Audacity and it works FB also.
BTW. I concur on the K1N on 10 meters, Thats one of the hardest QSOs i ever got. Even with the P3 and 2nd RX it was hard to find.
now to get them on 17 for a sweep.
