Yesterday (thanks to help here on this mail list) I got my hackrf One working as an FM receiver. I have SDR# v1.0.0.1483 running on Windows 10. So, today I want to move on to narrowband fm. I picked APRS channel because there is steady traffic. I tuned SDR# to 144.39 MHz, NFM, bandwidth 8k, LNA

I tried to run my hackrf in a VM and it almost worked. For the Osmocom source block, I had to specify the hackrf by serial # on the device options. I got it to recognize the hackrf and it would appear to function for a while, but the virtual usb driver would randomly fail without any error

Matteo, Using GnuRadioCompanion, there is a way to switch from RX to TX, but it is not obvious. If you use the Osmosdr Source and Sink blocks, and specify the hackrf as the device, then one works but not the other. However, if you use the Osmosdr Source and Sink blocks, and specify Soapy as the

What is the output impedance when transmitting at 147.42 MHz with and without the output amplifier? I’ve built an RF amplifier to boost the output about 26 dB, but with no signal it oscillates. The data sheet suggests it is probably due to an impedance mismatch between the Hackrf and the amp.

Cliff, I have a hackrf and an Ant500. With the antenna fully extended, you should measure a very low resistance between the tip of the antenna and the center pin of the connector. Mine was about 2 ohms. If you have 75 ohms, then there is a problem. Try again between the center pin and the elbow
