HackRF Pro (r1.2-p3) from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. Designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation radio technologies, HackRF Pro is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation.

Preliminary specifications:

• 100 kHz to 6 GHz operating frequency
• Tuneable from 0 Hz to 7.1 GHz
• Half-duplex transceiver
• Up to 20 million samples per second
• 8-bit quadrature samples (8-bit I and 8-bit Q)
• Compatible with GNU Radio, SDR#, and more
• Software-configurable RX and TX gain and baseband filter
• Software-controlled RF port power (50 mA at 3.3 V)
• SMA RF connector
• SMA clock input and output for synchronisation and triggering
• Convenient buttons for programming
• Internal pin headers for expansion
• High-Speed USB 2.0 with Type-C connector
• USB-powered
• Open source hardware

Compared to HackRF One, HackRF Pro introduces a host of new and updated features, including:

• Wider operating frequency range
• Improved RF performance with flatter frequency response
• Modern USB Type-C connector
• Built-in TCXO crystal oscillator for superior timing stability
• Logic upgrade from a CPLD to a power-efficient FPGA
• Elimination of the DC spike
• Extended precision mode with 16-bit samples for low sample rates (typical ENOB: 9-11)
• Half-precision mode with 4-bit samples at up to 40 Msps
• More RAM and flash memory for custom firmware
• Installed shielding around the radio section
• Trigger input and output accessible through clock connectors
• Cutout in the PCB provides space for future add-ons
• Improved power management
• Enhanced RF port protection
• Facility to hardware-disable transmit mode

HackRF Pro is open source hardware that is compatible with existing add-ons, including Opera Cake from Great Scott Gadgets, most PortaPacks, and some enclosures from third party providers.
