SDRPP
- HackRF:
- It works more or less with the soapy drive. The sound is clipping at first, but when you update the samplerate of the audio eveythings is fine.
- With HACKrf drive it crashes.
- LimeSDR: It works with the limesdr driver and also with soapy if using a USB3 cable. 8MHz of samplerate works more or less. I need to try with antenna, just in case that is the source of noise. The same problem as earlier, you need to update the audio samplerate and then is smooth. In the Lime Driver you can put more samplerate, with 20MBits works fine. With Soapy driver you cannot set samplerate correctly.
GNURADIO
HackRF: Receive example works good. Minor fixes are needed. Transmit in FM with GNURadio works. Using the telescopic antenna. LimeSDR: Seems to be working but I cannot receive anything with the soapy driver. With the limesdr driver it works perfectly, suuuuper smooth.
Amplifiers - HF
- The 12v amplifier is working but not giving exactly the power I want. It is necessary to put an LNA
- 12v and TM9008 output power 0.3 Wats
- 12v and the both lna’s is doing strange stuff… dont do it
- 12v and SPF5185 I got 0.4 watts of transmit power
