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.

  Spectrum analyzer for multiple SDR platforms (PyQtGraph based GUI for soapy_power, hackrf_sweep, rtl_power, rx_power and other backends)

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.
