Problem solved! The RX IN & OUT on the Elecraft K3S is selected on a “per band” basis. It wasn’t selected on bands above 20m.
Thanks for the support everyone! FYI, I plugged in the new HF+ yesterday and found the missing gain control. However, AGC seems to do well enough now that the HF+ is seeing ...

Re: Advanced Controls for HF+ (take 2)
Thank you for your kind advice, jdow. Would you happen to know the noise figure of the HF+?
I’ve been doing direct A/B comparisons with the HF+ and other SDRs with an Elecraft K3S. Same antenna, RX Out of the K3S to a Minicircuits splitter. One side feeds the K3S RX IN and the other feeds the SDR ...

Re: Advanced Controls for HF+ (take 2)
Thanks, Max.
I also didn’t have any issues when ordering Airspy products through ITEAD a few years ago. However, US imports from China are now complicated with tariffs and delays.
My tests so far have shown me that the HF+ Discovery is capable of better sensitivity. I think the missing gain ...

Hi,
Sorry I’m new to the forum and posted a blank thread earlier.
I’m experiencing low sensitivity with an AIRSPY HF+ Discovery when using SDR Console v3.3 build 3236. Are there RF Gain, Sample Rate and Decimation adjustments somewhere in this software? If not, is there an SDR Console version that ...
