1.

50 nW = -43.0103 dBm

You can easily put your tx level below this energy by adjusting three gain controller of HackRF.

In fact, the maximum output level of HackRF One in FM Band is around 10 dBm (with RF Tx amp on). The RF Tx amp is 13 dB gain.

2. According to my experience, RF Tx amp can be easily damaged (perhaps the VSWR of antenna port is too high). So you shouldn't do Tx while antenna port is open.

Hi,
having worked my way thru the first few tutorials/videos and gotten the FM 
receiver working, I would now like to try my first “hello world” in the 
opposite direction, i.e. transmit an FM signal. I’m sure I should be able to 
find something on the GNU Radio wiki to cobble that together, however I’d like 
to ask on this list about any HackRF specific details I should pay attention to.

For one thing I’m aware that transmitting in the typical FM bands is only 
allowed if you keep the energy low enough. In Germany, where I am, this is 
listed as 50nW maximum. How would I make sure that the HackRF transmits within 
this limit?

I also want to make 100% sure that I don’t damage the hardware. Is it 
sufficient to keep the RF Tx amp disabled or do I need to configure something 
else?
