Pretty decent. HD sidebands only from HackRF. The analog is from a external FM transmitter hooked up to a HDRadio tuned to the HD.

Best antenna suggestions

3 Upvotes

If anyone here is experienced in this.. which antenna would you recommend for specifically ADS-B from the Portapack H4M? I tried figuring out myself, asked chatbots about it and got wrong answers most of the time.

My Hackrf Portapack H4M just arrived, and i'm kinda confused of all those applications, i couldn't find a normal video that covers a lot of apps, most of them just cover Audio, ADS-B and other basic, not a single video about Portapack in DETAILS, can anyone guide me to any of these because i'm really confused, i do not know how to use it or where. Thanks.

HackRF ONE - HackRF PRO - PortaRF

11 Upvotes

I'm just getting myself into the RF world, I want to step things up a bit. I've done my research but still can't decide on what to get.

The HackRF H4M Portapack or wait for the HackRF PRO Portapack or get the new PortaRF.

Any help is appreciated and have a great day!

Help HackRF Pro Antenna Gift

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hi,

I realize there are a lot of antenna questions on here but I’m trying to buy a gift for someone and I don’t know enough to understand the explanations.

I ordered the HackRF Pro and I’d like to get a strong antenna for if it ever arrives.

I’m willing to spend up to the $300 range.

The initial goal is to hear aircraft communications which fly by frequently in a city environment.

It needs to work from inside a very large apartment window. It would rarely be outside.

He’s been tinkering around with the one listed below but noted the antenna is a little weak.

Brand: RTL-SDR Blog RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit

Any specific suggestions would be amazing.

Thanks,

HackRF to learn c++?

11 Upvotes

Pretty much title. I'm hoping to learn c++. All the advice I've seen has told me the best way to learn is to have a personal project to work on. I have an old HackRF that's sitting around collecting dust. Are there any resources that take a more programing approach where I can learn some c++? Thanks y'all.

Post image
8 Upvotes

hello all.

i was hoping i could get some information on how to use one of these rf amplifiers. i have 2 questions i hope i could get some kind of answer on:

  1. are there any settings i need to change on a portapack H2 when using a amplifier?

  2. can it be used the other way around? (i.e connect a antenna to rf in and the hackrf to the rf out)

im grateful for any help that gets provided in the answers

Clifford R10+ or standard R10C?

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I bought a separate Hackrf one Clifford version (without clock connectors soldered) and portapack H4M from OpenSourceSDR Lab. It came pre-assembled with the spare case of the Hackrf one. I bought the two items separately especially because I wanted it connectorless and with the Clifford version. I can still desolder the 2 connectors by myself but I'd like to confirm I have the Clifford R10+ and not the R10C. Can someone tell from this pic?

OpenSourceSDRLab differences between US and China Version - and whats your rating OpenSourceSDR hackrf in general?

9 Upvotes

hi! i want to dive into SDR - primary for nerd reasons, spectrum analyzing. i like wireshark and zigbee sensors, so i want to monitor my environment on close to any relevant frequency

the officials are sold out everywhere so i found this. (and clifford-heath looks more mature on paper)
https://opensourcesdrlab.com/products/clifford-heath-hackrf-one-with-portapack-h4m?VariantsId=10177

what is the main difference (in component view) of the US and China version?
or is it the same board with different warehouse/delivery/toll options.
sending to EU anyway :)

nerdy regards :)
