If you're receiving, don't use the RF gain - use the IF and BB gains. If you're transmitting, be careful, assuming no loses, 10 mW of reflected power may fry the RF amplifier. And note, there most likely a DC offset on the center frequency. You should use hackrf_transfer -r /dev/null to test

Hi - neither APRS or AFSK are FM modulated. AFSK is digital and uses 2 frequencies - FM is analog and uses a wide range of frequencies. APRS is packet based and you need to decode it - which is what your handset is doing. See if SDR has a APRS decoder plugin. Note, gqrx has a APRS decoder. --

[Hackrf-dev] power

2016-03-08 Thread Cinaed Simson
Hi - I'd like to increase the TX power of the HackRF to 50 mW. First, I disable TX. Since the dBm=0, this implies the power output will be on the order of 1 mW. Then I add an external LNA with a gain of 44 dB on the RF band I'm transmitting on which raises the TX power of the HackRF to 44 mW. T

See if you can upgrade gr-osmosdr: apt-get install gr-osmosdr When you start grc, it should print out the serial numbers of all the HackRF devices it finds - and indicate if it's a match or it's skipping it based on the serial number you provided. Note, I'm assuming you upgraded libhackrf whe

If you configure the HackRF with the same bandwidth and sampling rate as the RTL dongle - roughly 2.5 Mbytes/sec, you should find they perform the same below 1.2 GHz. In order to determine if you have enough CPU power to drive the HackRF at 10 Mbytes/sec or higher, type hackrf_transfer -r /dev
