K3DVR vs CW Memories

Stan Gibbs, KR7C
I've read the manuals and searched the archives, but I'm still unclear what benefits, if any, the KDVR3 provides over the built-in CW memories for CW mode.

I'm also unclear how the two interrelate; does the KDVR3 override or replace the CW memories when it is installed, or does it function only in SSB mode?

It only functions in SSB mode it provides no advantage in CW mode
other than the fact that it can record over the air signals...

I prefer to use the KDVR for CQ calls and contesting etc. More natural audio
is transmitted than my laptop recordings sound using N1MM...Just my 2 cents
worth...keep the change...(:-))

In reply to this post by Gary Gregory
The trouble is that you give up all the advantages of N1MM's integration
of logging and message-sending functions, particularly in Enter Sends
Messages mode.  Setting up laptop-based message files takes more effort,
but there's no inherent reason why they should not sound just as good.  
You need to be sure that all your recorded messages are set to the same
peak amplitude, and adjust the various gain controls between the
recorded file and the K3, but once they are set you can forget them.

One trick that can help is to run your microphone through the sound card
to the rig, and set the sound card's microphone gain to provide the same
output level as the recorded messages.  Then any other gain control
changes you make will affect both your mike and the recorded audio.

I regularly use soundcard audio files, while simultaneously recording
the entire contest using Sagebrush Software's RecAll Pro.  I am still
working out some kinks with getting the K3's monitor level where I want
it, but I'm sure I can get there.

While you don't get the ability to do all that you can do with the
computer's sound card - like voicing callsigns etc., - the K3DVR integrates
well with N1MM and sends the 4 messages in the K3 very smoothly and there is
no discernable difference in transmitted audio quality. The key is that you
don't *need* the computer to use them and you don't need to fuss with sound
card levels and all of that stuff. For those of us who chose an archaic mode
of communication as our primary mode, this amount of automation for fone is
just about perfect.

I turn ESM off for those rare occasions when I do fone.

Bob W5OV

Re: K3DVR vs CW Memories

In reply to this post by Bill W4ZV
I've seen that, and can see how it would work.  However, with only 4
memories, you don't get all the potential variation and
situation-specific messages that N1MM provides, nor the possibility of
voicing callsigns or serial numbers (which I don't advocate, by the way).

For example, N1MM gives you 12 messages when running and another 12 for
S&P, so you can have multiple-length CQs and different queries like
"Sorry, I didn't get your section" and "Your serial number again,
please."  Another advantage for phone contesters is that you can
re-record your Run CQ message on the fly - extremely useful when you're
running split on 40 and 80, and need to change your listening frequency
(so I'm told - I'm a CW op myself, almost exclusively)

 Yep, I use this exclusive.  Works great, lasts a long time.  Only issue is that the ESC button does not stop the audio transmission, but I "fix" that problem by re-mapping an unused contesting key to emulate a "REC" button press (the button in the center of the memory keys which stops playback).  The re-mapped key I use (on my keyboard) is the tilde (~) key immediately below the ESC key.  Took no time to get used to.

And, as already mentioned, the audio is outstanding.

Do you mean that the KDVR3 can record audio in CW mode? How? Seems like the Rec and M1-M4 buttons are already allocated to the CW memories.

I'm really just trying to decide whether or not to install a KDVR3 or not. I'm almost 100% a CW op and I want to make sure of two things:

1) If I don't install the KDVR3, I won't miss it in CW and
2) If I do install it, I won't compromise my CW operating.

Thanks to those who responded.

It doesn't use the M1..M4 memories, but a 90 second loop buffer.

I just wish there was a way to extract a recording digitally.  I have a recording of FT5GA on 160m stored there since last October and haven't overwritten it yet hoping I'll find a way!  :-)

Thanks, Lyle, your comment led me to take another look in the manual. Now I think I get it:

In either SSB or CW mode the KDVR3 gives you the ability to record 90 seconds of audio using the AF REC and play it back with AF PLAY. In CW mode, the REC and M1-M4 buttons utilize the 8 CW memories. In SSB mode they provide for record and play-back of voice messages.

Thanks to all for the help.

I'm with Pete:

4 messages is a bit constricting (I have the same problem with WinTest).
Also, in a Multi op situation, when the new operator logs on with Control-O,
and if you have them pre-record their messages like I do, each operator's
personal messages in his/her own voice are recalled by N1MMLogger.  Cant do
that with the KDVR.

I use a microHAM microKEYER 2 and only record through its built in sound
card.  Is it just me or am I the only one who cant discern any difference
whatsoever in my "canned" messages from the computer to my live mic?

If you use a *DIFFERENT* mic and a *DIFFERENT* audio path, there *WILL* be
differences in audio.

If you record using a different mic and audio "path", or add "effects" like
compression or equalization in a audio program, and then play the file in
Logger, you *WILL NOT* sound the same as your air mic.

The key is to use your "air" microphone and you "air path" for recordings.
This way, you will sound the same every time.

The KDVR is nice, but in a contesting environment, I have absolutely no use
for it.  Same for the built in keyer. Glad Elecraft made it an option so
that I can spend the money on something else I can actually use.

Re: K3DVR vs CW Memories

Joe Subich, W4TV-4

Be careful.  If you are using an interface that provides a
hardware PTT - serial port RTS, parallel port PTT or a WinKey
based keyer - you will almost certainly have problems with
PTT hanging if you add PTT by "software command."  Use of
both hardware PTT and "software command" has been reported
to result in "stuck PTT" with several transceivers including
the K3 - and with multiple logging packages.  The solution
has always been to use only one type of PTT (generally hardware
which is more reliable).

It appears that more than one transceiver will ignore the
opening of an external PTT line if it happens within a few
milliseconds of a software PTT OFF command but also ignores
the software PTT OFF command if hardware PTT is asserted.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV

I you enable the N1MM Logger COM port option "Radio PTT via command",

the Escape key will cancel KDVR3 playback. This is covered in my

notes.

(the button in the center of the memory keys which stops playback).  The

re-mapped key I use (on my keyboard) is the tilde (~) key immediately below the

ESC key.  Took no time to get used to.
