Narrative:
[I] made radio call inbound to dvo traffic pattern for entry to left traffic runway 13. [I] observed an aircraft on takeoff roll as I entered the 45 degree. As I began my downwind entry; I observed the other aircraft turning off crosswind to downwind and was much faster than my aircraft. I was concerned he did not see me or hear my radio calls. To avoid conflict; and keep the other aircraft in sight; I needed to descend to 700 ft AGL and make a 360 degree turn over the airport. I rolled out on downwind at 700 ft while the other aircraft crossed overhead the airport. After landing; I did several radio checks. My handheld was receiving but not transmitting. Conflict was avoided by descending and turning overhead the airport.
