[Hackrf-dev] Amp On or Off

[Simon Kennedy]

The thing is that if the HackRF is powered up then it is receiving, running
a program on your computer to collect all those I and Q bits that come from
the USB port doesn't change the RF part of the device (someone correct me
if I'm wrong).

Now the amp is presumed blown it acts more like an attenuator, i.e. signals
are weaker with it switched on.

I doubt I can fix it myself, I present a challenge to my optician and
soldering SMD parts is not something I have tried out yet.
