[Hackrf-dev] HackRF-dev Digest, Vol 60, Issue 10

[david at cahuelmo.com]

Hello,

My name is David, I am new here and very new to SDR. I am looking at HackRF with an application in mind and would like to ask if you know if this could be implemented and how difficult it would be. The application in mind is a marine SSB receiver. I am particularly interested in receiving weatherFax or sailMail, but also audio broadcasts.

Besides the general question if it is possible:

how difficult it would be to tune HackRF to actually receive something useful?

How likely i would be able to receive something if really out in the ocean (in terms of sensitivity)

what kind of antenna i would need (I am guessing the same as an SSB radion, which is really huge..about 7.5m.. kind of hoping it could be done with a smaller one?)

And would i have to use the hardware gain stage? And if so how likely would it be to blow if i use my VHF or AIS transponder on the same boat?

I hope somebody can shed some light. I would be really interested to try this if it seems doable.

Greetings to everyone,

David
