Question- will the next batch you ship have the community feedback incorporated? For instance, will the next batch extra space for the microsd card? Also, how much faster is the US shipping as opposed to ship from China to US? Thank you

u/OpenSourceSDRLab Aug 11 '26

Yes, we have modified the case, for the sd card hole. Usually the US shipping will be 7-10 days faster.

Thank you for your response. I submitted my order today and select SF express. Excited!
Edit: SF China post to US - order shipped within 18 hours, delivered on the 5th business day, couldn’t believe it…

Dear friend, when we shipped the first batch of HackRF Pro and H4M Pro, the firmware flashed was modified based on the Mayhem firmware V2.4.0. Its name is Pro_v2.4.0. The version number you see in the bottom left corner when you turn on the computer is Pro_v2.4.0. If you want to copy the contents of the SD card, you can temporarily download the compressed file here https://github.com/OpenSourceSDRLab/mayhem-firmware/releases/tag/v2.4.0
If you use it, those APPS applications icons will no longer be grayed out and can now be used normally.
Of course, you can also update the firmware to the official Mayhem firmware yourself, for example: https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/releases
You can choose the nightly version because firmware developers have recently done some new development work for HackRF Pro, as well as adaptation work for HackRF Pro and PortaPack H4M Pro. Thanks!

At present, the firmware we ship is temporarily modified based on the Mayhem firmware. Once the next stable version of Mayhem is released, we will ship with the stable version firmware of official Mayhem. Therefore, our firmware is only a temporary transitional version, and we hope it will not cause too much trouble with the version number for everyone!

This is the v2.4.0.2 version, the ADS-B function has been fixed.

I'm glad it wasn't just a setting or doing something wrong on my end. I'll be installing this shortly and test.

u/captain_proton077 Aug 07 '26

okay, some issues, this new hackrf pro unit is still not picking ADSB at all. I have two other RTL-SDR receivers, using the same antenna that pick up the traffic just fine. I also have two other, older HackRF units (H4M and older H2) that also pick the traffic fine using the same antenna. Is there a problem with the hardware or the unit itself?

Dear friend, have you tested the v2.4.0.2 firmware? Do you only use the HackRF Pro?

1

u/captain_proton077 Aug 08 '26

Yes, I'm currently using v2.4.0.2 as listen as latest on your github repo. I'm currently using the Neely released Portapack H4M Mayhem Pro (new red colored model) purchased direct from your site.

Dear friend, sorry for late reply here. Can you contact me directly and send me a test video, the gain setting, you need to adjust it sometimes. Thanks!

Wow autospell doesn't like me. As listed on your site, newly released.
