Just received mine today, so far so good. The only issue so far I’ve had is the SD card, the case makes it hard to insert or release them, cant get my finger/fingernail down far enough to latch it or release it. Had to take the front off the case, mainly because it also is a little wide and i dropped the card into the case behind the portapack itself.
Yeah, got it. Thanks！
I will have the case manufacturer further modify the SD card opening to make it easier to insert and remove the SD card.
I recently acquired a HackRF pro PortaPack H4M pro and updated it to the nightly build. I’ve observed that the LNA gain does not appear to increase when set to 8, 24, or 40 in either the glass or audio modes. Additionally, I installed the portapack-mayhem_OCI.ppfw from your Discord channel (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1293563481903202376/1531565133485047949/portapack-mayhem_OCI.ppfw.tar?ex=6a6afe2e&is=6a69acae&hm=e1a0e254aca444c07085a4a89562dfbadd34c0a5f00c8a37147484a06e8e3a2b&) the one that you guys modified i think to check if the ADS-B functionality was improved, but I am still not receiving any signals. For comparison, I used my HackRF One as a control, and it was able to detect ADS-B signals.
Please do not worry, We did a new firmware update last night, specifically modified for ADS-B functionality. Based on our own testing and the testing results from a firmware developer, it appears that we have resolved the issue with ADS-B reception. We hope to release a new version of the firmware in the next 2-3 days. Thanks!
Thank you for providing confirmation regarding ADS-B. I am experiencing an issue with the LNA on my HackRF Pro across all applications, and I am wondering if this is an isolated incident. Specifically, the LNA gain does not appear to increase when I adjust it to settings such as 8, 24, or 40. I am trying to ascertain whether this is a firmware-related problem or if I may have inadvertently caused damage to my HackRF Pro. It seems that there is no increase at all in gain when transitioning from 0 to 8, 16 to 24, or 32 to 40. No increase in noise floor at all. The performance at these higher settings appears to be identical to that at 0, 16, and 32, respectively.
We have fixed the ADS-B receiver issue, and released the v2.4.0.2 version firmware, please try it, thanks!
