Recommendations where to buy HackRF Pro/Portapack
Hi all,
I’m super exited to get into RF. Started off with the Nooelec SDR V5, but wanted to upgrade to a HackRF Pro + portapack and go explore more signals!
I currently live in the EU (Netherlands), and prices seem to really vary (local retailers sell for around €470). So I was wondering where you guys got yours (as there probably are also some Chinese retailers that sell for cheaper?)
I’ve also found found this preorder (shipping from china):

But they advertise the HackRF Pro + (new?) portapack H4M pro for really cheap. Probably a scam?
Hackrf pro
Hello together i just got my Hackrfpro from sdrstore.eu.
I updated the drivers with zadig since i am on Windows 11. I stumbled on some problems for example no signals from radio stations.. I downloaded radioconda and put the prompt hackrf_info in it.
Ive heard that you need to put a firmware whatsoever on it but after reading this i am a bit confused. Does anybody seen this before?
Do i have just a useless fake sdr?

Question about flying with HackRF PortaPack
I have only booked carry-on luggage and I was wondering if I am able to take it with me? I obviously won't turn it on/use it but I don't want it confiscated if I do bring it. It isn't an international flight, just between two cities. I live in Queensland Australia.
Thank you!
Any reason not to get the Clifford Heath version other than added expense?

GA SB470
Any Portapack owners seen this recently passed bill? https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/72945
Any concern in problems if stopped for any other reasons while using one especially with Mayhem firmware loaded? I just don't like the following wording.

Sending messages to an old Beeper Pager
Hey! I'm a movie filmmaking propmaster that stumbled upon this territory which is quite new to me, I'm a very tech oriented person and have done some basic coding and such, I saw a few YouTube videos of people managing to do this, using the address in the back of the pager, etc. I am a bit confused kn what equipment to get, or getting it as plug and play as possible. And where. Also the cheapest way to get it. Does anybody here have experience such as this use case so I can get a bit or guidance? Thank you all! I need to be able to send messages to a Pager so we can get it on camera practically instead of vfx, this film is based in the year 1995.
RuView WiFi Repo Scam?
Found this YouTube video of these kids demoing the densepose repo.
However, I believe there was a huge fuss about this being vibe-coded slop and not actually running.
This video also seems super suspect as the wifi is only detecting him and not the cameraman or anything else.
Has anyone got this Repo up and running?
Tesla car burglars
Anyone had their Tesla broken into by a technologically adept thief yet? This person clearly tried to but I can’t make out the device they have. https://youtu.be/zMxIRsAofys?feature=shared
Opensourcesdrlab Shipping?
Says my PortaPack H4M was shipped last Wednesday and it’s still in California…? Anyone else dealt with slow shipping times?
