This is a seriously big update. So much was done here. Very happy to see it.

[@mumbles1justin]

Nice! Portapack has needed an update like this for a little while. I think this will help boost development on the hackRF and see the popularity rise agin.

[@christiankaiser7747]

The new software version looks really good i cannot wait to try that when my HackRF/Portapack arrives

[@williamteuthorn7413]

I just tried this yesterday!

[@Davidslabofficial]

wow Amazing update thank you for sharing 😮❤ going to update mine now 😁

[@unhinged17]

That model you linked to is sold out at AE. There are many versions of this Hackrf & Portapack, can you please recommend others for sale or provide exact specs of yours? This is quite thrilling!!

[@StefCoders]

Already using it! I have some problems with it as its quite memory-heavy.

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

Does the new virtual com port allow connectivity using PuTTY? Great video! While in the topic of the HackRF, I hope you are still going to do a segment on the Operacake. If the the HackRF, PortaPack and Operacake could interfaced into a single, stand alone device… the trio would be formidable to say the least. Thanks for the video

[@TechMindsOfficial]

I still need to get my hands on one, but as soon as I do I will cover it. You're right though, all three would be a great solution. Would need a larger case but I guess not a problem as 3D printing is always an option :-) cheers

[@karter61]

Yes it does

[@goeatsomelunch]

I have had the hardest time updating my portapack as my computer refuses to recognize it

[@castagniermickael7841]

Thanks for the nice video !

[@TechMindsOfficial]

Glad you liked it!

[@eried]

awesome video, but why the gigantic aluminium boxy case :P

[@UrRealestCritic]

Damn ya keep up That great work ! Bout to wip mine out 😂

[@kursadzeybek356]

There is KeyFop in the new v2.0 menu (Transmit>KeyFob). But only Subaru's key data is available. Where can I find data for other brands?

[@jacquesb5248]

i am getting mine real soon

[@iyeetsecurity922]

Greetings! I'm curious to know if this can be used as a digital police scanner that can receive P25 phase 1 and/or 2.

[@marcuslvstad6067]

trying to update to 2.0.0, but when i use the .bat file. i can see the hackrf one in device manager. any advice?

[@adamap2796]

Cheers Marr

[@Hex-Mas]

I dont know how to make a app for this no wiki?

[@zachsmith9194]

My PC isn't finding the portapack. Any suggestions?

[@LordNementon]

Windows: Install the driver? I went under Linux (my windows didn't find it, even after installing the driver), went smoothly under linix

[@davidespada01]

where to buy Portapack ?

[@unhinged17]

I purchased an H2 unit but I’m struggling with learning how to use it. I was able to update it to Mayhem v. 2.0.0 very easily using just the SD card, no need to connect it to a pc. The documentation available online is dated and not very good. Any recommendations for noobs wanting to dive deep? The array of antennas it came with are confusing, I’d like to understand when to use which, as well as the apps. I’m not much of a “hacker” and would have preferred a more intuitive, nicer AIO SDR like the Malahit DSP2 but it’s way out of my price range.

[@digitalmediafan]

How did you update direct from the SD card ?

[@LordNementon]

4:57 where is snake and doom? 🐧

[@Jonnyweareten]

Anyone here know if the new firmware will work on hackrf_sweep_spectrum_analyzer_windows ? because the old firmware didnt work so each time I wanted to use it I had to change the firmware back to the original hackrf firmware, it did work ok on SDR Console with the portapck firmware. Thanks

[@karter61]

You need to put it into hackrf mode

[@Jonnyweareten]

​@@karter61I know but the analyzer doesn't't work. Other software does work.

[@BrendaEM]

So, basically, Google just took over the Portapak project? WTF! Browser dependence is no feature.

[@TechMindsOfficial]

I guess you didnt watch the video then...

[@denno445]

but can it run doom?

[@janiv3987]

Yes

[@sbfox4795]

Got White screen on H1 HW OMG

[@brwetide]

If you have not already search around. Portapacks have different screens and I believe holding the directional buttons, one at a timez and then plugging in will eventually grab the correct screen.

[@sbfox4795]

Yeah @@brwetide - thank you, i did follow the "Wont-Boot" info you mention abt the UP and Down button to switch the driver. NO JOY, now has brick my Portapack - reflashed to version 1.91 same issue with White screen. Had to refreshed back to version 2.0 using WebApp for now until new revelation to get my Portapack screen to life.

[@quebirt]

I do understand that the apps are a value with the portapack, but it's funny that we had the portapack so we could use the hackrf without a pc, and now we have v2 so we can use the portapack WITH our pc :) I do also understand that there are other benefits. It's just funny at a glance.

[@godjhaka7376]

It's only funny when you lack the knowledge to actually understand what's going on.

[@quebirt]

@@godjhaka7376 Please explain it for me. I feel like your comment was designed to make you look smart. Finish, and show us all how smart.
