ND0B (North Dakota Bill) is two grids away from the FFMA award for
working all grids in the lower 48 states on 6M. This is a quote from his
website:
"More recently I have been experimenting with RTL dongles and SDR
Console on receive for 6m. The sensitivity and noise immunity of this
combination is incredible and in many cases it out performs my Flex
6700. My recent contact with W6JTI flat would not have been possible
without this combination."
W6JTI and K6EU had hiked 3 miles up a mountain trail (2,000 ft climb)
with a KX3/KXPA100 and a 3-el Yagi to activate CM79, so that's the
station ND0B was trying to work, the band wasn't very open, and Frank
only works CW. :) Frank and Tom were up there two days, and it took
early morning "just barely there" conditions to make the QSO. And, of
course, both guys are superb CW operators.

Hi Dave
I connect the SDRplay through a 3dB splitter at the 28MHz RX output of
the transverter. A hybrid splitter is used to maximize the isolation
between the SDR and the K3's receiver.
This method is used in preference to the internal 8.2MHz IF output of
the K3 because the transverter output port can deliver a higher
signal/noise ratio to the input of the SDR, which improves its ability
to display extremely weak VHF/UHF signals.
