Video Description

CORRECTIONS: - The final production model will have the GPIO connector! - Also OpenSourceSDRLab has now made the internal AI extension board optional. If you order without it the price is $220 instead of $255. This is the new evolution of HackRF Portapack. A relatively cheap portable SDR device, capable of receiving, analysing, decoding and even transmitting a wide variety of radio signals. But now in a sleek new design, with a much better and bigger screen and battery and some new internals. A useful toolkit for anyone interested in wireless communication. This is PortaRF. The PortaRF in this video was provided to me for free by OpenSourceSDRLab. I've received no money for making this video, all thoughts are my own and they've not seen this video before it was released. You can buy PortaRF here: https://opensourcesdrlab.com/products/portarf?VariantsId=10341 Mayhem firmware: https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware 0:00 Intro 0:56 What's new 3:33 Hardware inside 5:45 Weird "AI" functionality 7:42 Likes, dislikes and wants 11:39 Price and thoughts 13:21 Warning! 15:05 Outro
