Apologies for taking this away from Elecraft topic, however, you might be interested in a specific noise measurement system here:
http://www.crosscountrywireless.net/sentinel_2_sdr.htm
in which a *calibrated* sdr is programmed to continuously listen on 5 unused HF frequencies and report to APRS every 10s.

Rick,
While it is not easy, you should put in the agenda checking it day and night. I found very different noise profiles that way....

Thanks for all the info!

It turns out I have an RSP2 and now have it running with HDSDR in "slow"
waterfall mode. I'm now looking for a way to control the front end options
of the RSP2 - nothing seems to be built into HDSDR to do that, but that's a topic for another mail list. BTW - I conveniently have an EXCELLENT Clifton Labs 1800 KHz AMBC high pass filter that sure tames the input dynamic range
when measuring 160M.

I will also try the suggestions for different ways to record signal strength
on the K3.

Thanks again,
Rick
