Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Does Spektrum work with HackRF One?
No. QSpectrumAnalyzer has some feature overlap and can use HackRF with hackrf_sweep or soapy_power.

I don't know if my HackRF is broken but anything in HF range it gets jumpy and I can't make out any specific frequency. I got the Portapack H2 on top if it makes any difference. on win10 and Mac I got the same problem, also with different antennas.
Here is some good news though: There is a way work around this sampling rate restriction. Since you don't really care about the actual data, and you're more trying to just visualize the traffic, there is a special mode that HackRF's support called "sweep mode." In sweep mode, the HackRF will rapidly re-tune the antenna across a huge swath of the spectrum to give you a birds-eye-view of a much larger frequency range. Unfortunately, CubicSDR (and most other SDR software) does not support the HackRF sweep mode natively, so you'll need to use another tool, such as "qspectrumanalyzer" which supports this view. Qspectrumanalyzer is a python application that can interface with a HackRF and work in sweep mode, giving you a view 1 MHz - 6 GHz almost once per second. Granted, you'll want to tweak this down to just the 2.4 GHz range and play with the setting to get the view just right, but it should be possible to see what you're trying to see.

How do you find a radio controller's frequency to use the hackRF?
qspectrumanalyzer (https://github.com/xmikos/qspectrumanalyzer) will do this.

Hackrf cannot capture wifi signals ?
QSpectrumAnalyzer is an example of a tool that can make use of this.

Listen to HD radio with a $30 RTL SDR dongle
From https://github.com/markjfine/nrsc5-dui#maps :
> Maps: When listening to radio stations operated by iHeartMedia, you may view live traffic maps and weather radar. The images are typically sent every few minutes and will fill the tab area once received, processed, and loaded. Clicking the Map Viewer button on the toolbar will open a larger window to view the maps at full size. The weather radar information from the last 12 hours will be stored and can be played back by selecting the Animate Radar option. The delay between frames (in seconds) can be adjusted by changing the Animation Speed value. Other stations provide Navteq/HERE navigation information... it's on the TODO 'like to have' list.
Is this an easier way to get weather info without Internet than e.g. Raspberry-NOAA and a large antenna?

NRSC5 no audio - linux mint
and sometimes I use https://github.com/markjfine/nrsc5-dui when I want to see the weather and traffic maps . honestly they are worse quality compared to the weather network for local coverage but it is a neat demo

A New and Good Program for HD (NRSC-5) Radio
After a lot of searching and testing I came across the developer Markjfine and after trying to make nrsc5-gui to work well he decided to fork the project to nrsc5-dui. Nrsc5-DUI is a fork of a really old version of nrsc5-gui that is not dependent on python audio processing which caused a lot of issues with modern versions of nrsc5-gui. Like the old version, it still uses python, it's still licensed as GPLv3, and has a similar interface. However, Nrsc5-DUI has plenty of new features and improvements such as better audio processing, better channel switcher, more station information, the option to pull album art from Discogs (currently broken due to Discogs anti-bot), better map displays, cleaner code, and optimizations for Python 3.9.
What are some alternatives?
