The LNA of HackRF is sensitive and can get damaged

Prevention

SMA port

  • DO NOT swap the antenna while power is on.
  • If you use an antenna that expose a metal part, DO NOT touch the antenna with you hands/body (static electricity can damage the LNA)

Monitoring range

  • You shouldn't receive near high power transmitters, even if it's not in the range that you are monitoring

Diagnostic

  • Try listen local radio. Try with AMP on and off both.
  • Try capture and replay a non-rolling-code. Try with AMP on and off both.
