I have my new HackRF working with GNU radio in Windows 7.  I updated the
firmware and clpd to latest I want to learn to use SDR in a Linux
environment so I installed the Ubuntu package 16.04.2 LTS onto a dedicated
HP i5 M520 Quad core laptop.  I tried to install pip then PyBOMBS to use to
install GNU radio but there are many slightly different instructions that I
encountered error messages along the way.  I wiped my drive/partition and
reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04.2 and then used the recommended approach on
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR 

 

$ apt-get install gnuradio 

 

This ran for a while installing and it seems to have installed OK.

 

I next queried my HackRF with

 

$ hackrf_info

 

and got a message to install it with $ apt-get install hackrf, which I did.

 

Now when I run $ hackrf_info I get the apparently notorious:

 

Found HackRF board 0

hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000)

 

I checked the FAQ's and ran hackrf_info as root but got same message.  I
also ran it a few times with same result, so it doesn't seem to be a
permission problem.

 

I read that if the install was with PyBOMBS that udev rules need updating
but I don't know if the install procedure I followed used pybombs

 

Any advice appreciated.

Hi Everyone, 

I just started with HackRF One and followed all the tutorials from GSG site , but I?d like to know if anyone can share (or guide me to) a .GRC to monitor / scan UHF Radio.

I built a .GRC based on videos and tutorials that I found a few days ago, but the reception is no clear. I have a BAOFENG 5HP Radio and when I test the transmission Im not able to capture a clear signal as the FM Radios.

Thanks for the support and have a great weekend!
