More about a preamp.
The SDR-IQ has a built pre-amp, and is so hot now on frequencies below
53 0khz that I have to turn down the rf gain. RF gain control panel has
+10 dB, -10dB, 0 dB, and -20dB options. Then there is the IF Gain panel
that allows for +24 dB, +18 dB, +12 dB, +6 dB, and 0 dB options. Seems
to be ok with -10 dB setting for RF Gain, and +24 dB for the IF gain.
Now to start recording a couple hundred kilo hertz band width to the
hard drive today and tonight and go through the file and see who I can hear.
Thanks for all the feedback from everybody.
