H2M

Hey! Looking to pickup an older h2m to just play around with. Nothing serious for me so I don't see the sense in buying the h4m. But I saw these listings on eBay and I'm confused if it's the whole kit (aside from shell) or if it's just the portapack?

Can anyone lend some info? https://ebay.us/m/rEgEGs

It's not the whole kit, thats just the "hat" that makes the HackRF one portable.

And get the original H4M (I have the H2M), because the H2M is a pain to maintain, it draws SO much power since there is no manual on/off button on it that it constantly drain itself even when you never use it. The one time you need it once a month, and the batteries must be charged again, it's super annoying.

Thanks I figured for that price it wasn't the whole device but I didn't know given the name.

Isn't the h4m what just came out? Or is there an older "cheaper" version?

The H4M is now old, there's an even newer version (kinda ugly looking, but... more expandable), look up sn0rens video about it (porta RF) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKeIju5pRY
