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

[Silverfox]

If there is a gain control you should try it.  The GNU tutorial requires
amplification to hear the signals via the sound system.

Hi Simon,

In this city there are at least 2 local FM stations. These can be heard by
even an earpiercing so to speak.I tried also now a simple paperclip, also no
go. 

I just also made sure if the ANT500 is working. I took the rtl usb dongle,
plugged it in, helt the ANT500 manually in the rtl usb dongle until i felt
the SMA pin was making contact while tuning to a local FM frequency ...
guess what ? Music in my ears ! 

So ANT500 can be excluded, the problem is inside the HackRF One unit itself.
I thought i was lucky that from all suppliers i checked it was in 1 place in
stock but now i think this was some returned unit or so.

I guess if no one else has suggestions i'll have it shipped back to the U.S
and get #%$^$$@ by the shipping charges again :(

Thanks,

Micky
