Dear Pete,
As per your question, I can suggest 2 ways, how I installed, and whichever
you like:
1. Kali Linux OS from Live Disk has in built GRC 3.6 and HackRF easily
installs when doing sudo upgrade command (Acer).
2. Ubuntu 14 with clean OS and PyBombs will get you all needed packages
(HP)..
Well,
According to the specs it will give you more than 25db in gain. What is not
so good (actually pretty bad) is the noise figure with 6db. Good preamps in
VHF/UHF should have less than 1db noise added to the signal.
my 2 cents,
Stefan

Pete,
SDR requires some decent computing power, nothing crazy, but not bottom
of the line. I'd recommend at least an i5 core and 8 gig of Ram, 16
would be better but you can always upgrade later. Video cards and SDR
are a moot point unless you're going to use something like gr-fosphor
One of two things come to mind:
1. What's the MD5 of the ISO used to burn the image? Could be a bad ISO
copy.
2. EFI BIOS problem/setting? Have you made any adjustments there?

Pete, if the Ubuntu and Pentoo Live DVD's are both not working, it's not
pentoo.
It's an issue with the computer, perhaps your virtualization settings are
screwy in the bios? When you get a VM running, get an error log and post
it here, let's see what we can do, ok?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I couldn't find anything about the NF on the
hackrf but isn't it close to that figure? Or perhaps too far from it?
Thanks,
AD

Thanks,
SDR receiver noise figures seem to be in the 3 to 4db figure for VHF/UHF.
So you don't want to add too much more to that.
