Jan,

 

I am using a Kenwood TS440 too. I find= it a very good RX, both on 137kHz as 500kHz.

It has by default a 20dB attenuator acti= vated between 500kHz and 1.6MHz. But so far I found no need to remove that= , as I am using the TX antenna (lazy-L, 11m high, 25m long) also for recei= ving.

For receiving DI2AN's WSPR I used the 10= dB extra attenuator and then reduced RF gain for a stable s-meter. The sou= ndcard is connected to the back audio out connector as, the level the= re is independent of the LF gain.
