[Elecraft] sdr console and the RTL SDR blog usb dongle

[Eric Lanzl]

I was wondering if one can use the RTL SDR blog sma v3 sdr dongle with sdr console with the k3. Is it ok to connect to the if output and set the if frequency to it? I have seen people are using the sdr play but I wondered if it will work with the RTL SDR as a pan adapter. I have also seen that HDSDR is also used as the interface. 
If anyone has experience with this I would be interested in hearing how it works. ThanksEric WB9JNZ
