## Gain Controls
**The Gain Controls are critical to the best use of the PortaPack / HackRf.** HackRF provides three different analogue gain controls on RX and two on TX. The three RX gain controls are RF “amp”, 0bB or +14 dB),”IF“ 0 to 40 dB in 8 dB steps), and baseband Vga ( 0 to 62 dB in 2 dB steps). The two TX gain controls are at the RF (0 or 14 dB) and IF (0 to 47 dB in 1 dB steps) stages.

HackRF has two RF amplifiers close to the antenna port, one for TX and one for RX. These amplifiers have two settings: on or off. In the off state, the amps are completely bypassed. They nominally provide 14 dB of gain when on, but the actual amount of gain varies by frequency. In general, expect less gain at higher frequencies. For fine control of gain, use the IF and/or baseband gain options.
