[Hackrf-dev] Testing my new HackRF One

[emmanuel.fuste at laposte.net]

Hello,

Somme news : 
- Antenna is dead !! short circuit.
- with a small piece of wire (~30cm)I was able to (only)receive a very very close FM broadcast station. Need to test with a good antenna now. But with the same wire, signal in the DVB-T band is pretty good.

Emmanuel.
