Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSPR - configuration?

I run WSPR on 500-KHz as WD2XSH/45. I interfaced the computer audio thru the K3 line-in and line-out jacks and control PTT with the RS-232 connection. This requires you to run DATA-A. I set my receive audio with the computer audio mixer window without any changes to the K3. It runs at about

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... Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:36:13 -0400 Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSPR - configuration? From: k2qi@gmail.com To: notforc...@hotmail.com CC: elecraft@mailm

Thanks for the reply Rick. I adjusted my PC's line in to achieve something close to 0 dB, although as you said it does fluctuate a bit. In my case, between -1 and 2 dB, but mostly staying at 0. I decided to leave my K3's line out level at 10 and not mess with that setting as I've found that the

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 buildi

James, As a veteran of one whole weekend on WSPR I'll share what I have learned. First I would turn off the CW ID since it isn't necessary and clutters up the WSPR frequency. Yes, all you will hear is what appears to be a solid tone while you are transmitting. I wouldn't use the RF gain contr

2010-10-28 Thread James Sarte
Greetings fellow Elecrafters, I've recently started playing with K1JT's WSPR program. I do believe I have the rig correctly configured as I use the current setup for all digital modes. I have the K3 set to DATA A mode. Since I've never used WSPR before though, when TXing, what are you supposed
