What antenna and antenna system (including feed system) do you have? The
entire antenna system, along with bandwidth and local noise floor, has a
huge effect on things.

As Don pointed out, if we hear a reasonable drop in noise when the antenna
is disconnected (using the narrowest bandwidth in the least noisy direction)
the rig is sensitive enough.
