This applies to all Transmissions using the HackRF/ PortaPack. + + +## What is the Transmit Power of HackRF? +HackRF One’s absolute maximum TX power varies by operating frequency: +* 1 MHz to 10 MHz: 5 dBm to 15 dBm, generally increasing as frequency increases. +* 10 MHz to 2150 MHz: 5 dBm to 15 dBm, generally decreasing as frequency increases. +* 2150 MHz to 2750 MHz: 13 dBm to 15 dBm. +* 2750 MHz to 4000 MHz: 0 dBm to 5 dBm, decreasing as frequency increases. +* 4000 MHz to 6000 MHz: -10 dBm to 0 dBm, generally decreasing as frequency increases. +Through most of the frequency range up to 4 GHz, the maximum TX power is between 0 and 10 dBm. The frequency range with best performance is 2150 MHz to 2750 MHz. + +## What gain controls are provided by HackRF? +HackRF provides two TX gain controls are LNA (I) (0 to 47 dB in 1 dB steps) and RF AMP (0 or 14 dB) + +## Use of HackRF +Overall, the output power is enough to perform over-the-air experiments at close range or to drive an external amplifier. If you connect an external amplifier, you should also use an external bandpass filter for your operating frequency. + +## WARNING +**_Before you transmit, know your laws. HackRF One has not been tested for compliance with regulations governing transmission of radio signals. You are responsible for using your HackRF One legally._** +
