It is used for experiments with open source programs for SDRs, own software development for radio communications and experiments in amateur radio.

This new feature allows us to scan across the spectrum at up to 8 GHz per second, which means that a full 0 - 6 GHz scan can complete in under a second.
Below is a Device Manager screenshot with the hackRF correctly.

Windows SmartScreen may warn you about running this program. The HackRF One is a test equipment for RF related experiments which covers a frequency range from 10 to 6000 MHz. A few weeks ago the HackRF drivers and firmware were updated and one new feature added was hackrfsweep. On Windows 10 must use Zadig to install the correct driver, WinUSB (v6.x.xxxx.xxxxx). Here are the instructions from the HackRF Github wiki page. Watch a video that demonstrates the process of installing or updating your HackRF to run PortaPack firmware Download and run the PortaPack Firmware Tool installer from the latest release on the project releases page. I did my setup on archlinux but it should be just as easy on other OS’s. The HackRF One, telescopic antenna (ANT 500), some connectors and a Ham It Up v1.3 - RF Upconverter Software setup A telescopic antenna and various connectors complete the setup. I added the Ham It Up v1.3 - RF Upconverter to boost performance in the lower frequency ranges. Makeall.bat located in E:SDRPhaseTwoHardwarehackRF, this builds hackrfstatic.lib and libusb-1.0.lib from source. I recently acquired the awesome HackRF One, a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. Release: use Multi-threaded DLL (/MDd), Debug: use Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd). I haven’t tested it but some chatter on the HackRF mailing list say that you should still grab the SDR Nightly build, but there is no need to download the hackrf dll’s or editing the config file. I digress so let me get back on track, there will be several more posts to explore the possibilities. With the latest releases of SDR and everyone getting their HackRF One’s from kickstarter, it appears this article is out of date. How awesome is the concept of electromagnetic pulses in this age that is driven by electromagnetism. From the the more common applications such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth and FM to the lesser explored such as radar, satellite and GSM, radio frequency is an area I plan to explore extensively. The wireless world is an area I’ve been interested in for a long time.
