[Hackrf-dev] Run out of options to get HackRF One working :(

[ccrypti at nym.hush.com]

Hi Simon,

In this city there are at least 2 local FM stations. These can be 
heard by even an earpiercing so to speak.I tried also now a simple 
paperclip, also no go. 

I just also made sure if the ANT500 is working. I took the rtl usb 
dongle, plugged it in, helt the ANT500 manually in the rtl usb 
dongle until i felt the SMA pin was making contact while tuning to 
a local FM frequency ... guess what ? Music in my ears ! 

So ANT500 can be excluded, the problem is inside the HackRF One 
unit itself. I thought i was lucky that from all suppliers i 
checked it was in 1 place in stock but now i think this was some 
returned unit or so.

I guess if no one else has suggestions i'll have it shipped back to 
the U.S and get #%$^$$@ by the shipping charges again :(

Thanks,

Micky
