KDVR

Here's a posting from March on using the KDVR with N1MM.

I've used the macros in DXLab Commander successfully using the suggested
syntax.

I used CATA1ASC and CATA2ASC for a possible SO2R solution that I've never
really tested fully. CATA1ASC should have the same effect as CAT1ASC in a
SO1V-type scenario.

Re: KDVR

While on the subject of the KDVR3, I wonder if the next beta firmware
release will include a feature that automatically turns MON on at a
predetermined level when a recording is being transmitted, and off again
when transmission is finished? It has reputedly been "on the list" for a
year or so.

Re: 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.

I use MON at level 6 when using the DVR and I have been trying to get
used to hearing my own voice in the headphones. I can do it this way
but it sure would be a lot better if it was muted during TX.

I will be watching closely for any response from Elecraft.

Re: KDVR

In reply to this post by N7US

After reading this thread throughout the day, I was inspired to setup N1MM
to use the DVR in the K3. By following the simple steps outlined in the
page link below by N6ML, it took only a few minutes to add the macros within
N1MM and make the recordings in the K3. Works great! Can't wait to try it
in a phone contest.

Dave, N4QS

Re: KDVR

In reply to this post by Gary Gregory

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

Re: 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.

I respect all opinions on the refelctor as we all have different ideas
about operating and the K3 is by far the most versatile radio I have
owned and I have seen it grow in versatility since I aquired mine over
two years ago.

If your listening Wayne, this is a good feature for many of us and we
would welcome it becoming a reality as we are customers too.

sincerely,
Gary VK4FD

Re: 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.

Re: KDVR

In reply to this post by Bob Naumann W5OV

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. Problems can
also occur with the K3.

As a software developer myself, here are some reasons that I disagree:

1. Every feature requires code space, which is in short supply.

2. The menu interface is already complicated and adding more switches makes it worse. I've
talked to new K3 users who are overwhelmed.

3. If a feature is implemented at all, it must be implemented cleanly, in a way which fits
the general user-interface and operational philosophy of the device. It can't have hidden
'gotchas', etc. It isn't a good argument for doing something fundamentally inconsistent to
say that "you can always turn it off".

4. Once a feature exists, it has to be supported. Some 'features' and implementations
thereof can have a large impact on the volume of support calls.

5. Programmer time is very expensive and limited. Just because something has 'practical
use' to the four operators out of 10,000 who want a particular feature does not mean that
the two guys who have to make this work should spend their time on it, especially when
there are things that 1,000 operators could use.

These are just some of the reasons that "because it's possible" may not be a good reason
to do something!

Re: KDVR

I think we all need to remember that features are approved and added by Elecraft,
not by users. However, I bet a lot of the features that we like in the K3 come from
user suggestions or from similar sources (dialog on other forums?).

I think that the freedom to suggest a new feature should be paramount on this
forum. Of course, so should the freedom to vote "No" on a new idea. This is all
information that be used by Wayne and Eric in choosing things that might be
included someday.

Re: 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!

Good, I can't disagree with that ;-)
