15.17 HackRF One / Pro

All in §6.2.12:

  • The only USB interface here that transmits, and the only half-duplex one: receive stops for every over.
  • Transmit safety: poor harmonic suppression — low-pass filter for the band, or a dummy load until you have measured harmonics and carrier leakage. Leave Drive high and set level with TX VGA; the carrier sits on your signal by design.
  • The 14 dB RF amp is one switch for both directions; sdroxide reprograms it on every direction change. Via SoapySDR this cannot be expressed — there the receive amp dies after the first over.
  • Leave Baseband filter on Automatic — a hand-narrowed filter silently withdraws the DC-avoiding LO offset, which looks like the offset being broken.
  • A Pro reaches 100 kHz and gets four extra low rates; its half/extended-precision gateware modes are not driven — a Pro left in one by hackrf_debug -P shows noise until unplugged.
