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.

I have used an RTL-SDR with a K3 on its IF out and it works for me. The RTL-SDR will need to direct sample at that frequency. It is an inexpensive device and, while a remarkable amount of functionality for about $25, it will have its limitations. My use case is specifically as contesting waterfall. I am not depending on it as a radio replacement and I do not use HDSDR so can't comment on that. My implementation is driven by my contest logger (Writelog) to have the waterfall integrated with my log and rig control. This has worked very well for me and a more flexible contest option than a P3 GL Tom W2SC 8P5A -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Eric Lanzl Sent: Sunday, February 7, 2021 11:40 AM To: Elecraft List <[hidden email]> Subject: [Elecraft] sdr console and the RTL SDR blog usb dongle I was wondering if one can use the RTL SDR blog sma v3 sdr dongle with sdr console with the k3.
