Mike,

That single change did the trick and didn't even mess up CW! Thank you very much.

FWIW, with another logger, one may access the second bank of K3 messages by programming the F key to send the BANK shift command (SWH37), then the message key code, then the BANK shift command again to put you back where you started. Yes, you must start off in Bank I, but hopefully that is a one-time issue. WriteLog should work the same way. The K4 has separate PBn commands for each message.

2. K3 or K4 DVR Message kill. Once a DVR message starts, it plays to
completion: ESC won't stop it. How can this be fixed? Note that pressing
the footswitch causes the rig itself to halt the message.

Hi Bob,

I wrote up a description for using the Elecraft DVRs in Writelog a few years 
back, mostly repeating information that N6EE had posted earlier.

The way to enable ESC interrupts of the DVR playback is:


In Setup/Ports set the CommPTT to Yes for the K3(s). This will enable the ESC
key to be used for interrupting messages. Also set the DVK Type to None.

If you're in a mixed mode contest using VOX for CW keying then switching from 
SSB to CW may cause occasional stuttering on CW unless the Setup/Ports PTT is 
turned off for that radio while using CW. Or PTT can be used for CW instead of 
VOX to avoid the stuttering.

73,
-Mike, N7MH
