Incidentally, please post the output of hackrf_info
The firmware and the libraries must match otherwise the results can be unpredictable. Also, please indicate which version of GNU radio and gqrx you're using. And note, I don't really know what you mean by a new Mac Pro - I don't know if it's old model but new to you or if it's the latest model - an Intel 2.9 GHz Core i5. So please indicate the model. -- Cinaed On 03/18/2017 11:18 AM, mohammed hamoud alkindy wrote: > Thank you all for the support, it seems I am trying things without any > improvement, changing sampling rates give me strange error messages no > matter what rate I put: > > > > Failed to set RX input rate to 8e+07 > > Your device may not be working properly. > > The same with other lower rates > > > > Regards > > > > > > *From: *Chuck McManis <chuck.mcma...@gmail.com> > *Date: *Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 10:13 PM > *To: *Mohammed AlKindy <moham...@omantel.net.om> > *Cc: *Simon Kennedy <si...@thekennedys.info>, hackrf-dev > <hackrf-dev@greatscottgadgets.com> > *Subject: *Re: [Hackrf-dev] not so good experience for my first SDR > > > > Reading this it sounds like there is a misunderstanding here. > > > > If you have sampling issues you will get an *underrun* not an *overrun*. > > > > If you are getting an *overrun* between the HackRF and your audio card > then you need to put a sample decimeter between them.
