Dom,

it's not available yet, thus the N/A. Still on the DSP firmware list of
Lyle. Last word was "might still take a few month's time" ...

How long? It is in the manual and been in all the blurb and on the web site for ages.

Grrrrr. I like the radio but had to wait for ages and seems some things like this missing.

OK hope the voice lasts another 3 days as on dxpedition ;-)

Did you read the ERRATA SHEET that came with your radio?  It says, "
                Manual
               
                Pg. 51: Some specifications are still shown as TBD (to be determined). These will be updated when final
                measurements have been completed.
                Firmware (MCU rev. 1.02, DSP rev. 0.89)
                The features listed below are described in the manual but not implemented:
*  Noise Reduction (NR)
*  Multiple noise-blanker settings (NB); at present the blanker can only be turned on or off
*  Auto-notch (workaround: manual notch)
*  Extended single-sideband transmit (MENU:TX ESSB)
*  Absolute S-meter mode (MENU:SMTR MD)
*  CW transmit in SSB mode (automatic offset during keying)
*  DVR message record/play

Have patience...

Re: KX3 DVR

Keith Heimbold
That is exciting for sure. I already love the noise blanker. Works amazingly well for only one setting. I must have gotten lucky!

Dom,

We're working on the DVR feature right now. I'm sorry it has taken so  
long for us to get to it. At the time we wrote the product brochure,  
we thought we would have it in place within a couple of months, but  
many things came up that we didn't anticipate.

Every release of the owner's manual includes an errata sheet showing  
which firmware features have not yet been implemented. The DVR has  
been on this list since the beginning, along with noise reduction and  
auto-notch.

Since we had literally hundreds of requests to "hurry up and finish"  
the NR and auto-notch features, we prioritized those ahead of the DVR.  
(Until recently there had been very few requests for status on the  
DVR.) Of course the NR and auto-notch are now complete, so our DSP  
engineer and I are now digging into the DVR. It's quite a complex  
feature so I suspect it will take us until the end of September.

As soon as we get it fully implemented, we'll be asking for some  
customers to help test it. I'll be happy to put you on this list if  
you'd like.

73,
Wayne

Re: KX3 DVR

Dom M1KTA
Wayne,

Absolutely. Apologies the frustration at not having the DVR was huge as I had a voice keyer I home brewed but I had assumed the KX3 had it included, which I now know it did not, grrrr!

I am QRT from 6W and C5 and back in UK, unfortunately I did loose the voice for couple days, or rather spoke very quietly but activity on cw increased in C5 as conditions were lousy for a few days.

I did/do love the KX3 btw... I am trying to figure out if I can obtain a second one as a 'spare' rig as when you are the DX and solo it is IMHO essential. Probably would manage without the internal ATU though in the second as I have a T1 and would take that, or swap the ATU from one rig to the other.

One major niggle was it was very hot and humid was the power folded back several times, only additional cooling helped. I will add a finned heatsink, in place of the thick strip heatsink and a small copper 1U PC heatsink and fan when I get home as going from 10W to 3W mid SSB pile up was a tad annoying for everyone concerned!

BTW I managed to hit DXCC with the KX3 from 6W... not me I managed just 59 DXCC but I gave out 112 DXCC 'slots' so RX stations band/mode covered 112 DXCC, not bad for one week when QRP, and one of those days was just two hours from an IOTA /P with a buddipole :-)
