[Hackrf-dev] operating frequency

[Brian B. Riley]

The revised  up converter that came with the hackRF adds 125 not 100 MHz. Check the oscillator can label and make sure.

I haven't checked my HackRF to see where the "real" roll off points are, but it should start effectively working on the 30 meter band (10.1 Mhz) and continue all they way through 5.925 Ghz.
