First, always check your antenna. The whole SMA/SMA-RP thing bites a
lot of people. Connecting an SMA-RP antenna to the Hack-RF will look
like its connected but there will be no signal connection.

Second it is useful to know how effective your antenna is for the
frequencies you are trying to receive. Using a 2.4Ghz "rubber duck"
antenna and trying to pick up FM (< 108Mhz) radio stations won't work.

Third look for sources of noise nearby, radio interference is governed
by the inverse square rule, meaning that if you move a bit away from
an interfering source you reduce interference by the square of the
distance. Sources of interference are things like unshielded computer
boards (a Raspberry Pi sitting out running some application for
example hanging off a USB cable)
