Ubertooth One is an open source 2.4 GHz wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation. The HackRF One acts in just this way, an all-in-one SDR in a small enclosure a little bigger than a cell phone. A new feature in the HackRF firmware now allows using it as a spectrum analyzer over the full 6 GHz range. $\begingroup$ A wideband amp from HF to UHF might be hard to find. Every HackRF One is protected by an injection molded plastic enclosure and comes with a micro USB cable. An affordable option is the HackRF One, which is able to sample at frequencies ranging from 10MHz up … HackRF One from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. The 20 MHz bandwidth of the HackRF One always allowed you to use it as a real-time spectrum analyzer if … 3,500USD, hilariously expensive.

Using a lower-bandwidth high-powered final amp would be more practical, so that might work for you. The HackRF One is a popular software defined radio (SDR) device, supporting not only reception but also the transmission of radio signals in the range between 1 MHz and 6 GHz. Hi All, With the recent emergence of QO-100, many people have begun to look at options for working through the satellite with existing equipment - indeed this is how I arrived at this question.

librtlsdr provides quite a few useful command-line tools for RTL-SDR dongles (including rtl_fm, rtl_sdr, and rtl_power). Bear in mind that most radios that work from HF to UHF (and even higher sometimes) have multiple antenna outputs, so you could use a different amp on each set of bands, as well as an antenna suited for those bands too. HackRF One from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1MHz to 6 GHz. Note: An antenna is not included. rx_power showing ~5 GHz captured on a HackRF over 9 hours. An alternative might be devices based on software defined net-working (SDN), which can be programmed for a wide range of applications.
