If you configure the HackRF with the same bandwidth and sampling rate as the RTL dongle - roughly 2.5 Mbytes/sec, you should find they perform the same below 1.2 GHz.
In order to determine if you have enough CPU power to drive the HackRF at 10 Mbytes/sec or higher, type hackrf_transfer -r /dev/null (Linux) hackrf_transfer -r NUL (Windows) The number of bytes/sec should be equal to 2*sampling_rate. If it's less, reduce the sampling rate, e.g., hackrf_transfer -r /dev/null -s 5000000 hackrf_transfer -r NUL -s 5000000 - poke around until you find your maximum sampling rate. See the tutorials on the HackRF at https://greatscottgadgets.com/sdr Until you finish the SDR course, keep your RF gain = 0. -- Cinaed On 06/16/2016 07:06 PM, Gregory Ratcliff wrote: > Hackrf users, > > Anyone with both rtl and hackrf, have you found the Rx performance of your > hackrf compares to an rtl on say wideband fm broadcast and VHF narrowband on > 150 and 450 MHz? > > I'm just starting initial testing and proving out the hardware and gnuradio > systems. > > Greg > > > _______________________________________________ > HackRF-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/hackrf-dev > _______________________________________________ HackRF-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/hackrf-dev
