After messing around some more…. In the lower left quadrant of the HDSDR display is an ICON/button that says [RF +0]; By right clicking that and turning the adjustment slider all the way up to 50 I found the background noise is diminished (open antenna S meter reading goes to almost 0) and the weak signals are easier to hear. I still think performance may be more HDSDR software related than SA44 related.

PS: Checked out teh SDRPlay site an found additional info on adjusting the HDSDR program, will try that out. Also ordered a radio from them. I suspect I may end up replacing the SDR-IQ with this unit. Thanks for the pointer.
