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.
