[Elecraft] K3 and WSPR - configuration?

You think that's something try 30 meters and see what you get... you'll be amazed.  Oh, then lower it down to 1 watt...

Thanks for the tip.  I adjusted my PC's line input setting and left the RF gain at full.  So far so good, and according to the propagation map, I seem to be doing OK for 5 watts.  Surprising that some DX stations are even hearing me on 40m as my view towards the east is completely blocked by buildings!

When it comes to the receive side, NO NO NO, do NOT touch the RF gain!  You don't want to lower the gain on the input of the rig.  You want to make sure you have all the gain you can.. again, we're talking about noise level receiving here. You want to keep your passband filter open wide as well.  DON'T use the Dual PB filter if you're going to use Data mode for this operation.
