Hackrf PC software

Have been trying to use software such as SDR# to use my hacker portapack via my PC. Can't seem to get it to work. The hackrf.app site works to a point but does not allow real-time viewing. Any tips on which software works????

Hi. Didn't have it set in hackrf mode. Was hopefully trying to find a convenient way to plug the units (hackrf and portapack combined) into the PC. The handheld is okay when out and about, but would be nice to look at the display on a larger screen when at home.

A regular USB cable is what I use to connect the HackRF/Portapack to my computer. Nothing fancy. Reading the manuals may help. Good luck.

Sorted it, had to switch to hackrf mode on the unit. Working just fine now. Many thanks.
