HackRF One and PortaPack

Official GreatScottGadgets HackRF One with official H1 Portapack (Right)

China Clone HackRF and China clone H2 PortaPack (Left)

Both are running Mayhem firmware. If you don’t have one you need one.

KiwiSDR: Wide-band SDR

KiwiSDR with a active mini whip antenna.

This is a bad ass little device that can see 0-30Mhz with 30Mhz bandwidth seeing the entire range at once and has a custom version of OpenWebRX installed that does all kinds of nifty things.

Caribou Lite RPi HAT

CaribouLite turns your Raspberry Pi single-board computer (SBC) into a self-contained, dual-channel radio Tx/Rx that spans a wide tunable frequency spectrum up to 6 GHz with 4 MHz bandwidth.

ADALM PlutoSDR

I have 2 of these which feature

• Hacked for RF coverage from 70 MHz to 6 GHz
• Up to 20 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth
• Flexible rate, 12-bit ADC and DAC
• One transmitter port and one receiver port, half or full duplex

RTL-SDR.COM Dongle

I have probably 6-7 of these amazing little beasts. They can tune from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz and has up to 3.2 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. They are receive only and are cheap as can be. Just about every piece of software SDR related works with this.

TYT TH-9800D Plus

I have this in my car its a Quad Band 50W Cross-Band Mobile, 10M/6M/2M/70CM Mobile Transceiver.

Baofeng UV-5R

This is a great little hand held transceiver providing 4 watts in the frequency range of 136-174 MHz and 400-520MHz oh and its dirt cheap.

Flipper Zero

This is a cool little device that lets you play with any kind of access control system, RFID, radio protocols, IR Transceiver, NFC, Bluetooth, 1-Wire iButton, and a Sub-1GHz Transceiver. Basically if it talks wirelessly this thing can explore it.

I have 2 of these, one with Xtreme FW and one with Unleashed FW

PortaPack for HackRF

I figure I should add this here too. The PortaPack attaches to your HackRF and adds a touchscreen LCD, user controls, headphone jack, high-accuracy clock reference, real-time clock, micro SD card slot. This and with custom firmware like Mayhem turns this thing into a mobile monster capable of playing with a lot of systems.

Pwnagotchi

This thing eats wifi connections and lives on a small RPi Zero W computer which can fit in your pocket. It’s a DIY open source gadget for hacking Wi-Fi that gets smarter the more networks it gets exposed to using machine learning.

KB9VBR 2M J-Pole

This thing may be tuned for transmitting on the 2 meter band but its a great receive antenna sub-1GHz.

Discone

Great wideband antenna spanning 25-1300MHz I use this antenna the most it seems.

Active Mini-Whip

Great antenna for 0-30MHz I currently have this mounted in my attic and use it on my KiwiSDR.

MLA-30+ Loop

This antenna gets some bad rep but with a few easy modifications it seems to be a halfway decent HF 0-30MHZ loop for under $50

ADS-B Coaxial COLLINEAR

Made out of RG-8 Coaxial cable

WellGood Loop

A WellBrook Active Loop clone that does pretty well for the price.

NanoVNA

NanoVNA vector network antenna analyzer

moFReus

MoRFeus is a 30 MHz – 6 GHz field-configurable Fractional-N wideband frequency converter and signal generator.

LNA’s and Converters

I have tons of LNA’s, converters, TX amps, band stop filters, bandpass filters, you name it I probably have it.

Astron SL-15M Power Supply

The importance of a good low noise power supply is often overlooked and very important to weak signal reception.
