I have my new HackRF working with GNU radio in Windows 7. I updated the
firmware and clpd to latest I want to learn to use SDR in a Linux
environment so I installed the Ubuntu package 16.04.2 LTS onto a
dedicated
HP i5 M520 Quad core laptop. I tried to install pip then PyBOMBS to
use to
install GNU radio but there are many slightly different instructions
that I
encountered error messages along the way. I wiped my
drive/partition and
reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04.2 and then used the recommended approach on
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR
<https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR%20>
$ apt-get install gnuradio
This ran for a while installing and it seems to have installed OK.
I next queried my HackRF with
$ hackrf_info
and got a message to install it with $ apt-get install hackrf, which
I did.
Found HackRF board 0
hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000)
I checked the FAQ's and ran hackrf_info as root but got same message. I
also ran it a few times with same result, so it doesn't seem to be a
permission problem.
I read that if the install was with PyBOMBS that udev rules need
updating
but I don't know if the install procedure I followed used pybombs
Any advice appreciated.

Subject: [Hackrf-dev] GRC to Monitor UHF Radio
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hi Everyone,
I just started with HackRF One and followed all the tutorials from
GSG site , but I?d like to know if anyone can share (or guide me to)
a .GRC to monitor / scan UHF Radio.
I built a .GRC based on videos and tutorials that I found a few days
ago, but the reception is no clear. I have a BAOFENG 5HP Radio and
when I test the transmission Im not able to capture a clear signal
as the FM Radios.
Thanks for the support and have a great weekend!
