Re: Advanced Controls for HF+ (take 2)

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.

Re: Advanced Controls for HF+ (take 2)

Advanced Controls for HF+ (take 2)

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 ...
