[Hackrf-dev] maximum transmit time

[Kristoff]

Hi all,



I don't know if this is the correct place for this question but as there 
is not that much traffic on this list, I hope it is OK.


Question:
Is there a maximum transmission-duration for a hackRF ONE at 2.4 GHz?


I have an idea to use my hackRF (+ tcxo) to transmit on the QO-100 
amateur-radio satellite transponder, this to experiment with a 
"low-power" setup. (e.g use a wifi grid-antenna as uplink).
Amateur radio (WSPR, JT-65, ...) has a number of "weak signal modes" 
that involve transmitting a signal for a long duration (e.g. up to 15 
minutes in certain versions of WSPR), so perhaps it would be possible to 
use one of these modes over satellite with a very limited setup.

But does a hackRF ONE support transmitting at full power (13 to 15 dBm) 
at 2.4 GHz for a continuous periode of (say) up to 15 minutes, or will 
it overheat?


Thx :-)
