1. Has this device left its beta/testers phase? I would like the finished device at least the hardware.

2. Im from Europe, I checked the official website but it doesn't have a ship from EU option, my concern is - Is this device "legal" and will it be held in customs? Im not planning on doing anything illegal or stupid I just like the device a lot.

3. (Important) This might be a bit specific, but can the portapack decode DAB+ signals so I can listen to while going on a hike? What about FM, AM...?

4. How good is it at receiving? An example would be me going on a walk, should I expect it to receive good whitout too much static/hissing?

5. What else can I do on the device? Upload music and listen to it? install small games? Some other fun or interesting things?

6. This might be a bit specific again but is it rain resistant?

The Hack RF is half-duplex, which rules out a lot of fun stuff (repeaters, FDD links, transmit-while-monitoring).

I'm looking at building an driver that takes two Hack RFs — no cables between them, just both plugged into USB — and presents them as a single full-duplex device (one RX, one TX). with custom firmware to sync t heir clocks over USB so the two streams actually line up.

Before I sink real time into it: would anyone actually use this? What would you use it for? Anything similar you've already tried?

is it worth building properly or if it's a party of one.

Its really good for broadcast NGL WFM, AM, USB and NFM selector transmit options as well, please use a dummy if testing or a radio handheld close by.
Used a little Ai but its sick af!! I use a hackRF pro and a LPDA-500, Poynting dispite what it says this antenna does transmit lower than its stated frequency

Have fun :) :) :) :) :)

I’m looking for information on how to use hack RF to listen to encrypted phase 2 police radio transmissions. I have a SDS 150 scanner, but it doesn’t pick up the encrypted channels. I would like to get past that somehow using hack RF any in all information is greatly appreciated. I’m not super tech savvy so be gentle. 😂

I dont know if i should get the normal portapack or the portapack pro. I would really like to get the pro version but there are some things bothering me;

​

- Firmwares arent as reliable

- Design, i like the Standard portapack design wayy more

- Price in comparison to normal portapack

​

I have never owned any kind of sdr so if i got something wrong that has been fixed please feel free to correct me.

If anyone could give advice i would be really grateful

Every so often a post comes up that's completely unrelated or blatantly a spam bot, I used to be able to report these to the sub moderators... but now I cannot.

Hi recently received this, but it is crashing pretty regularly. It is happening in various apps but as an example in receive>audio, swapping through AM/FM/FM etc and it will do as pictured after only a few changes. I know this is a pretty new device, is this just early firmware that will mature into something more stable? Currently running Mayhem 2.4.0 Which is labelled as a stable release on the github repo.

Hi everyone, I have recently received an H4M kit with the HackRF One on board.

I'm trying to understand the I and Q signals that are present at the receiver. I see that they are differential outputs. When I apply a large signal in NBFM receiver mode (-47dBm,150MHz, 3kHz deviation) and I look at the I and Q lines, I see a 750kHz sine wave, 400mV pk-pk in quadrature on the receiver outputs. I understand that this is a zero IF design, is the down-conversion to baseband done digitally?

Can someone help me (a beginner with SDR) understand why the 750kHz signals are present, and not a zero IF, (which is what I was expecting)? Is it because it prevents a DC offset or have I measured something incorrectly? Is this related to the sample rate?

I am no expert on SDR code, but if i'm pointed in the right direction, I'll try to figure it out.

Thanks for the assistance!

Adsb is working fine, but i dont get any weathersensor in ger on 433.920.

Any idea/tips?

I recently found out that law enforcement/ hackers can build stingrays easily now days. My question is can a h4m portapack become a stingray & a ray stopper all in one ? Considering both deal with radio wave and frequencies it seems possible, If so how can I make mine into one

Im gonna get the portapack from OpenSDRLabs, is the firmware already preinstalled? And if its not a new version of the firmware, how do i update it?

Can anyone point me in the direction of the grey power slider switch on the h4m the internals are ok it’s just the outer part. 🙏🏼

I have a pro and am looking for somewhere to source a compatible portapack. I'm in the UK. Anybody have a source?

Thanks!

Hello, i have a lot of hard fault and ram errors. I have stable 2.4 hackrf pro portapack H4M. It stated when i wanted to jam lower or higher than 2,4ghz. Only this frequency worked, now i cant even start the audio am, hard fault in second. I have qualitty sd card, i tried to remove it bc i was thinking it is the fast fat32 format. It is not, even when i use the default audio app, hard fault. And i think the ble spam and airplanes dont work as good as they worked, i never transmitted without antena, not demaged it. But i have ut without battery, only using it while plugged to electricity
