For my Birthday this year I asked for a Yaesu DVS-6 Digital Voice Memory Unit. It is made especially for the FT-950 (my current HF transceiver of choice) the DVS-6 Voice Memory System includes five memories capable of storing up to 20 seconds of voice audio each. The maximum that any memory can hold is 20 seconds. You can store and then repeatedly transmit short identification and information messages. At the time I purchased the rig the voice memory unit was not available.

To my great delight my Son and daughter brought me the DVS-6 for my birthday with peter’s help we had the bottom of the FT950 removed

and in no time we had installed the DVS-6 voice memory unit – This unit has five memories capable of storing up to 20 seconds of voice audio each this is ideal for two operators sharing the same transceiver I have the first two memories and Peter has 4,5. Memory player 1 transmits my call sign once which is ideal for calling in the pile up’s and the second memory player 2 transmits CQ CQ Mike 3 Juliet Foxtrot Mike – M3JFM is calling CQ and standing by for any possible call please.
