I built my own HF converter and incorporated an active, tunable RF pre-selector. I included switched gain, attenuation and bypass. The bypass mode was for use as an HF spectrum analyzer.

I made sure the LO in the converter was very clean before driving the mixer stage.

The noise figure of the pre-selector was less than 1 dB.

I ended up selling the whole setup to a friend and have been contemplating ordering another dongle and building another pre-selector.
