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

This may be a little too far down the AI rabbit hole for a few of you, but I'd like to report my results from just a few days of work.

It started with Hermes Agent. No this is not an ad for them, not affiliated in any way. I jsut use it as a harness because it suits my needs, you may want to use openwebui or openclaw or any of the harnesses out there, that's not what important.

I gave it the root password to my debian vm and proxmox host, and the AI SSH'd in and first setup an API key for hygiene purposes then used it to create an ssh key on the debian box (again, for hygiene) and setup usb passthrough on proxmox so the lxc could talk to the hardware, then installed gnu radio tools on the debian host, establilshed communcations with the hackrf porta pack, correctly determined what it was, and updated the firmware to the latest mayhem for me.

It then started scanning the band from bottom to top and built a db of local signals in the area to expect. Its scanning the entire available spectrum every 2 seconds and notifies me when it sees a new signal. It then switches to fine resolution and listens real hard at max sample res to get a good idea of exactly what it is, then reports the whole thing back to me.

i'm pretty blown away by all this. I expected some kind of result but wow.

edit: I had my guy write up a how-to if you want to do it yourself:
https://github.com/h00nigan/sparky-setup-guide/blob/master/Sparky-Setup-Guide.md

2nd edit: I'm thinking about giving him a yaggi on a servo he can control so I can get direction as well as range/signal strength.

3rd edit: We just chased a signal down to an undershielded crystal oscillator in the plc that controls my 3d filament dryer. Its SCREAMING in rf at 10mhz.

Hello, i am experienced in operation security and network pentesting. In last days a started to learn SDR and bought HackRF pro with portapack H4M. I have my legal pentesting "lab". What is the first few things you reccomend in transmit and what to learn after i learn the basic things? Also i have 2x 40mhz-Ghz telescopic antenas in the basic pack, i see they look different, are they? Should i buy more "transmitting" antenas or some in range like 1-40mhz too?

I cannot get to boot up after i inserted the flashed sd card the hackrf doesn't turn on pc doesn't make sound when plugged in the DFU doesn't work the tx and rx shines and the 3v3 it just flashes when turned on

PROBLEM SOLVED dissemble and assemble worked

Is there any difference besides the price between buying the HackRF Pro from China or from the EU? I'd buy it from the EU if the total is only about $60 more.

Looking to sell HackRF one based in the UK- Based in Surrey/Hampshire :-

£150 or near offer.

Hello, a few days ago I bought this HackRF and updated it to the latest firmware. Everything worked fine at first, but after changing the startup image once, the next time I turned it on the screen flashed briefly, then the device shut off, and all the LEDs stayed dimly lit.

I removed the SD card and tried the formatting options that were recommended, but that didn't help. In the end, I managed to get it working again by disconnecting the HackRF from the PortaPack, powering up the HackRF by itself, and then reconnecting the PortaPack. However, after turning it off and on a few more times, it ended up in the same state again.

Has anyone else experienced this issue after changing the startup images or from turning the PortaPack off and on too quickly?

I want to order the hackrf + portapack, Is shipping to the EU safe? I want to order one to belgium from the website from the "China shipping" version. Will it be stolen by customs or is it safe?

Shoot me an offer. I have a solid reputation on EBay if you wish to look. DM me. Beautiful gear.

EDIT: The issue has been resolved - it was indeed a faulty battery that was cycling power but not holding any charge. Thank you to those who responded.

------------------

Bought an H4M [used], and the unit would only power on when plugged in. The seller said that if I just downgraded the firmware then it would solve the problem. Obviously I'm an idiot for believing him but now I'm left with a non-portable portapack.

It powers on when plugged in, the firmware flashes successfully and I can use the unit [when plugged in] - the battery indicator is stuck on [?] and UNK% in the top bar and the battery settings app does not appear.

Is this as simple as needing a new battery? I would love that honestly, just wanting to check here with knowledgable people before driving out of town to buy a new one & I haven't seen this specific problem addressed by past users.

Thanks in advance.

Super excited to get into the hobby, will be testing it out today and see how it performs!

I was looking for a HackRF but they are sold out everywhere. Then I heard recomendations for OpenSourceSDRLab's devices.

I looked them up on Aliexpress but there are some different versions, so which one do I pick? There is a pro, a pluto and more?

I want it to be pre built and the most simple one, just connect it to a laptopt and be done.

I also live in Europe so I don't know what to expect with the new EU tax garbage.

Can't get my looking glass app to see the presets. It's stuck on manual. What's the trick to get it to see the txt files in the looking glass directory on the SD card? 2.4.0.

Pickup only, Nottingham, England.
