KDVR3
Locked
 
|
G'day,
Maybe I'm blind but I cannot find much information on the utility of the KDVR3. There doesn't seem to be any published specifications. The last page of the installation manual refers you to "detailed instructions for using your digital voice recorder are included throughout the K3 Owner's Manual". Well not a lot of detail there either. p29 is as good as it gets and that offers more questions than answers: 1. How many seconds of recording. 2. It is stated that "recording starts at the beginning of available space each time it is started, and will stop at the end if not terminated sooner". This would imply that memory is not divided equally between M1-M4 but is dynamically available, depending upon the length of the prior recordings. 3. How is memory erased. 4. I assume that if recorded received audio on playback is heard on the K3 speaker/phones it can also be sent to line out to enable archive on a PC. Don't you just hate those buttons that flash up a not installed message. Fitting the KDVR3 would also offer a good excuse to do the front panel microphone circuit mod whilst the front panel is in pieces again.

> 1. How many seconds of recording.
TX MEMORIES Each transmit memory is up to 15 seconds in length. There are eight (8) memories, arranged as two (2) banks of four (4), just like the CW and Data memories. RX MEMORY There is a 90 second "endless loop". New recordings are appended to the nests audio in the loop, and the oldest is earased as more audio is added. > 2.

I make the same assumption :-) The DVR Rx palyback audio substitutes for the main receiver audio just prior to the AF GAIN control so you can adjust its level on playback. It is also routed to LINE OUT. 73, Lyle KK7P _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

G'day Lyle,
Many thanks for that. I've just discovered via the KDVR3 errata rev A that "the full set of KDVR3 features" is bundled with beta code v2.71. So far I've only been able to locate v2.67 in the beta folder. Not normally a problem accessing the latest beta so I guess it isn't currently on the site.

Hi Lyle,
> Correct. It will be soon. We're hamemring on it in the Field Test > group at present. This could be interesting. My KDVR3, according to UPS, is now already in Germany [KOELN (COLOGNE), DE 07/12/2008 21:25 IMPORT SCAN], which means with a bit of luck in less than about 18 hours it will reside in my K3 here in Munich. It's almost like watching a race... Will the software be released before the hardware arrives??? hi hi More seriously, do I understand correctly that the MCU 2.67 / DSP 1.96 firmware does not support the DVR or is only a subset of DVR features supported by the current firmware? vy 73 de toby _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

2.67 does not fully support the DVR.
We are planning on posting the K3 mcu software that supports the DVR on Monday before end of day (U.S. time.) We're beating it up right now. So far, so good! 73, Eric WA6HHQ ---- Toby Deinhardt wrote: > Hi Lyle, > >> Correct. It will be soon.

Deeply apologize if this has been covered but I've not seen it in the 10
or 15 messages I've read on this topic but can recorded audio be fed back out the TX pipe? On Sun, 2008-12-07 at 12:49 -0800, lyle johnson wrote: > > 1.

Brett,
As I recall, that is in the plan, but not yet implemented. 73, Don W3FPR Brett Howard wrote: > Deeply apologize if this has been covered but I've not seen it in the 10 > or 15 messages I've read on this topic but can recorded audio be fed > back out the TX pipe? > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
