Powerful RF Tool- In Its Circles Utilized Plenty and Effectively

 Not exactly an SDR- Targeted towards the sub ghz ranges. Your 300s'mhz, 400s'mhz, 800s'mhz, lastly 900s'mhz are the general frequency ranges that the device is particularly geared for. 

For those who lack the experience, may associate them to children's toys, garage door openers, "gadgets", key fobs... In fact, many technologies utilize some function or another that falls into those portions of the RF spectrum...

I guess partially due to Flipper, making it out to just an area to dabble in... splash about with the many modules ... but....that previous sentence up back there hinted at the powers that lie within- "key fobs"..."garage door openers"... for those with the necessity to do so, a tool such as this can find itself very useful...

Notification LEDs Blinking on the ndevice letting the user know its status

 We underestimate how much of the current infrastructure around us is utilizing such technology - to communicate "slow down, children playing"- even control traffic- many signs- entrances to buildings- elevators- gates- lighting- the sprinkler systems installed in city parks- car key fobs- I could go on... so, now do we have it drilled in our heads,  if previously your bias was in the form of sub g just a place to dabble about- I hope its understood that some serious work is done with- there's no dabbling about when we can acquire control to so much around us.

Averaging out the noise.


It's no wonder why there is a "civilian" version, and then a version for "law enforcement", and another version where you have to be vetted in- either through credentials or have some one on the inside confirm your clearance.

Device in action.


You see, it isn't just the device that is the star of the show... the device is just that, now pair it up with the many years of insider knowledge, specifics, a catalog of frequencies, a knowledge base of all there is when it comes to sub g- the device is complimented with an incredible array of tools, which include a large and ever growing data base compromising of.... think of it as almost having that collection of keys, the janitor key set- the abillity to open everything and all- It is quite remarkable really. 

The information, tools and the device surpas my amazement- and, I'm just a "civilian". Sometimes you can bump into some knowledge base where it's been left out in the wild for the public to see...only to be quickly put back away under lock and key.. there are reasons for the tiered capabilities. Think James Bond,  but, JAMES BOND.

Windows Doesn't recognize Your HackRF device? Wrong Drivers? Try ...

 Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF.  Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...

Maximising RF Range as per Texas Instruments

Making electronics such as semiconductors and pioneering advances in integrated circuits. Consistently Texas Instruments brings us innovation - in their "about me" they state this mentioning advancements "to make technology smaller, more efficient, more reliable and more affordable" – "Engineering Progress.", that is what Texas Instruments are about. Wireless/ RF Texas Instruments  or TI with their many product offerings and solutions, many of which fall into the category of being wireless- that is what our modern world is now- involving many technologies, but today we are talking more in the area of RF or Radio Frequencies. Though these technologies have advanced, and our knowledge has grown in said technologies- still, limitations exist. One of them, when talking about RF is the range that your solution needs, and realistically, the actual range possible with the technologies being utilized.  How Far Can My RF Signal Transmit? Receive? Sorry to burst you...

RTL-SDR-MANY-MUCH-ALL-MORE-EVERYTHING-BEGINNING-END-ALPHA-OMEGA

  History and the discovery of the RTL-SDR , which started out with a comfortable life as a RTL2832U , or RTL2838 - the latter, though mentioned in many components, not truly existing, rather, being named a RTL2832U (might be the reverse...). In attempts of  demodulating DAB/DAB+/FM a fella named Eric Fry put the above into the mix which further brought us the RTL-SDR More on the discovery and history of  the RTL-SDR.      Apps for the RTL-SDR Many applications and libraries which are using either librtlsdr directly or some part of the gnuradio source which is also considered as gr-osmosdr: Name Type Author URL gr-pocsag GRC Flowgraph Marcus Leech https://www.cgran.org/browser/projects/gr-pocsag/trunk multimode RX (try first!)
