[Hackrf-dev] HackRF Jawbreaker Bugs

[Russell Hande]

also regarding calibration, its not quite like the rtl. the RTL had a
set offset, so if it was off 500hz, it was off 500hz at 30mhz, and
500hz at 1000mhz. This is not the case with the Jawbreaker, as I
explained. So implementing a ppm offset for the SDRSharp plugin won't
quite solve the problem.
