But if you are looking for a quick and universal introduction to amateur radio, you should better choose a conventional radio and gain first experiences with it.

Thus, he’s built a clock distribution and amplifier board, with 4 ns propagation delay at 1 PPS, and only 10 ns delay at 10 MHz. HackRF One has not been tested for compliance with regulations governing transmission of radio signals. Most modern audio ADC’s fill these bits intentionally with noise and then throws them away after conversion which is why you can’t even get 18 bits of true dynamic range from a 24 bit ADC ‘in the real world’) Generally as a rule of thumb I subtract 2 bits and that gives me a more accurate idea of it’s Real World performance …. However, the drawback is that with such a wide bandwidth it is very difficult to find a narrowband signal on the waterfall if the frequency is unknown.Standard bundle includes HackRF, Ham It Up, Antenna Balun, 2 SMA interconnect cables and an SMA to BNC adapter.

HackRF One is capable of receiving and transmitting on a frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz with maximum output power of up to 15 dBm depending on the band. When the machines finally rise up and try to wipe us all out, someone toting around a machine like Cyberdeck Red is probably going to be a sight for sore eyes; clearly, such a person would be equipped to help us fight back the robotic scourge. HackRF’s high maximum sampling rate can be a big help as it allows you to use offset tuning even for relatively wideband signals. This means that amateur satellite stations close to the North Pole can receive the GAC signal, including dereksgc's station which (we believe) is in the Czech Republic.Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for you.
