Don:

I know you can do voice recordings on the TS590, and then use one of the
rig's function buttons to play them back over the air.  However, I use the
function buttons for other things, and find at least one of them to be a bit
hard to locate without the chance of pressing the wrong button in the heat
of a contest.

Others on the list may be able to  tell you how to do contest exchange voice
recordings with the TS590, and the N3FJP logging software.

I had worked on this out here, with the help of Steve (KW3A) several years
ago, but was never able to get things to work properly.  I think my problem
was due to sound card issues, and conflicts with the N3FJP audio wave files.

Anyway, this is something I too would like to figure out how to do.

If someone has a step-by-step way to do SSB voice exchanges using the TS590,
and the N3FJP logging software, please let all of us know.

Subject: TS590 how to record a contest cq?

First off Thanks guys for your support in helping me to work yesterdays
contest for the New York qso party.

I will post my stats as soon as i have time to go over the contest log and
fix any mistakes.

Secondly I couldnt' remember how to record a cq for playback over the radio.
I sure wish I had done that.

I looked at the manual and it didn't quite make sense to me but then again I
was in the middle of a contest so didn't want to spend a lot of time on it.

Can someone explain how to do it?

I don't plan to change my stripes and become a contester grin!

This was the first contest I have operated in at least 30 years but I will
at least do this one next year.

Maybe even do the next field day which was always a favorite if anyone can
have a favorite contest.

Thanks in advance for any help with recordig on the 590s.

I also want to know how to play it back over the speaker and transmit the
recording over the radio.

Lastly, if I choose to use a recording when calling cq, if i adjust the mic
gain to accomodate the recording level does this mean I will more then
likely have to readjust the output level on my w 2 i h y box so as not to
overload the radio or is the firmware smart enough to have separate level
adjustments for the recorder?

thanks.

Don
