[Hackrf-dev] Run out of options to get HackRF One working :(

[Tom Zicarelli]

Hi Micky,

Don’t know if you have gnuradio-companion installed?  If you do, here’s a simple FM broadcast receiver that would test your device. If you don’t have it installed, then depending on what OS you are using, and your tolerance for command lines, it could be more hassle than its worth :-)
