Dear Ernest,

Haven't used that, but hamlib is something completely different than
Gpredict; it's meant to control ham radio equipment, not to predict
doppler shift. If I can get that right from quickly having a glimpse at
hamlib, it seems like it was written for hardware that connects to (or
emulates a) sound card. The HackRF isn't one of these, so you won't be
able to interface it with hamlib. Why would you, too? It's bandwidth is
much greater, and with gr-osmosdr, there's a very mature and
well-maintained interface to GNU Radio. You'll need libhackrf.

Generally, for frequencies you can receive with something like the
HackRF, a quick, rough estimate tells me that LEO satellites (which
probably are what you're concerned about) won't exhibit much more than a
couble kHz Doppler; you usually would not re-tune the SDR frontend to
correct that, but get a bandwidth that's big enough to contain all your
receive spectrum over its full Doppler shift range.

Best regards,
Marcus
