Kevin,
I made a mistake. The issue is with GNU Radio Companion NOT Hackrf. I was
thinking of the hardware, NOT the software. If I close the GUI of the
current running project as you suggested, then it is OK.
Thanks for the suggestion,
John Trager

When I use the Pentoo Linux or windows versions of GNU, and either run the
hackrf one in receive or transmit, it remains in the receive or transmit
mode after clicking on EXIT. Is this normal (I wouldn’t think so)?
Unfortunately, yes, this is normal in my experience. If the application does
not properly close the device (or is terminated by signal and thus does not
have the opportunity to) then the HackRF One will remain in the last mode it
was in. I wish the HackRF firmware would understand when the process talking
to it is kaput and reset, but it doesn't.
If you are using GNU Radio Companion, avoid using the “Kill” button in GRC
and exit your flow graph from its own GUI (if it has one) instead.
Staying in receive mode is largely harmless, however; it will not prevent
the next process from taking control.
Also, I’m able to receive a signal on the 2M amateur band using
hackrf_transfer –f 144201000 –c 127, but using the same command, I can’t
receive a signal using hackf_transfer –f 1296101000 –c 127. I have each
display on the receiver set to 1kHz below the frequency in the command,
and I’m receiving using a SSB USB mode. I also tried other settings,
using the –x 15 parameter, but still don’t receive anything on the 1.2Ghz
band receiver. Is there something else I may need to do given the higher
frequency?
No special settings are required for different frequencies. However, local
oscillator frequency error will have a larger effect on higher frequencies —
have you tuned around with your receiver, to check for the signal off the
nominal frequency and outside of the SSB receive bandwidth?
