  As someone with a HackRF PortaPack knockoff I got from ebay, I would agree that SDRs are better and cheaper than ever before. However, I think the average person will struggle with using a HackRF for more complex projects. I've used URH before, and while useful, it can be intimidating for beginners.

  Also, while I like the RTL-SDR (and the price tag!), you can't transmit with it. While this isn't a deal breaker to everyone, if you'd like to clone a garage door remote, for example, you need to be able to transmit. While you could use something like a raspberry pi and rpix [0], but I think it is more work than it's worth for many. Also, multiple RTL-SDRs are required for higher bandwidth applications like ASTC TV or trunked radios.

  With the flipper, I think the main draw for most is the point-click-done nature. Include the Android/iOS app and it makes it easy to configure on the go without a computer. The expandability is one of the main feature that will increase adoption over time compared to the HackRF+PortaPack which, from what I saw in the past, lacked longer-term support and regular updates and new features.

• Rust SDR Amateur Radio Network Interface

  HackRF One is an option. There are a number of others. Legality varies by country/frequency/power level.

  Can also make a Raspberry Pi act as a transmitter (https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx), which could hit the zwave frequency but not the zigbee one. (Also, make sure to put a low pass filter on it.)

• Looking for Low Voltage (5V) High Bandwidth (144MHz-420MHz) Amp (3-5 watts)

  The warning at https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx#hardware suggests a bandpass filter will be needed but has no additional info. https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx/issues/40 looked promising but is closed.

• Embedded Systems Weekly #128

  RF transmitter for Raspberry Pi With this project you can turn your Raspberry Pi into an RF transmitter with only a filter to avoid interferences.

• Turn Raspberry Pi’s GPIO into an FM Transmitter

  RPITX is the spiritual successor of your project!

  And it does work with nearly every RPi.

  And unlike only doing FM (97MHz-108MHz), it can emit from an IQ datastream from 10KHz to 1.5GHz.

• GNURadio for Pi?
  1 project | /r/GNURadio | 5 Aug 2022

  Hey everyone, I've recently discovered that the Raspberry Pi can act as a radio tranceiver, and am hoping to use it for security research. While projects such as rpitx act as a great tech demo, they don't offer me the modularity/parametrization I was hoping for. Ideally the end state for this would be a cheaper/less effective HackRF.

• How easy is it to make a pulse generator and simple spectrum analyser using arduino or raspbery pi? Which one would be easier to do?
  1 project | /r/rfelectronics | 28 Jul 2022

  The RPITX project supposedly can generate signals up to 1.5GHz with an unmodified Pi, though, which is interesting... a true spectrum analyzer needs a receiver end, though.
