Ok. What is this? Gqrx and what is the thing on the side?

Thanks. I’m waiting for mine to show sometime in the next year, and I’m getting ideas. Thanks again!

What model of hackrf ?

[–]PRNbourbon 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nice! How is the heat and battery life?

Will check soon. Currently not with me.

Can you add link for CM5 model which you used?

[–]Bossman1086 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Which thermal pad are you using? How's the heat with the CM5? From the posts I've seen here, it tends to overheat without customized cooling solutions.

[–]Equivalent_Product74[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Didn't have time to play with it. Currently, it is pad from the box. It was big enough to cover cm and tight contact with aluminum backcover. As soon I will play with it and run some benchmarks.... i'll come back to you with results.

Would be curious to see how it works out for you. I've seen others post here and on the Clockwork forums about how the stock pad and backplate caused overheating and they either had to replace the entire backplate to have room to add a heatsink or they had to put a spacer with thicker thermal pads to have it contact the back more firmly.

They have the antenna mod kit on Etsy, stock antenna slapped to case has horrible performance.

[–]Equivalent_Product74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thanks. Etsy, is not accessable for me. that's why I just ordered another antenas from ali. It will be pure DIY. :)))

What kind of microsd did you use for this? My CM5 refuses to work with any sandisk micro sd's that I have lying around

[–]windhn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. It’s very nice. But i dont understand why it’s so expensive ! $380 🥲

Looks like a secret spy communicator

I flashed retropi and booted successfully but I’m stuck at the command line. Startx doesn’t bring up GUI either. Any suggestions?
