Tell me someone tried to extend the operating range to 6 GHz? There is this article, maybe someone tried to implement it:
We already have that hack implemented in the KrakenSDR drivers, so in theory you can already tune beyond the max range of a standard RTL-SDR. However, in all my tests I have not been able to get DFing working well when used in this hack range. Even with a HPF used.
Maybe if you have a tight bandpass filter and a very specific band of interest + an LNA, then it might work. But I don’t want to get any hopes up.
Thank you very much for the answer!
Do I understand correctly that these drivers are already built into firmware 1.6.1?
Tell me, in your experiment, did you use standard antennas?
Yes it’s been built in since the beginning.
I did use tuned antennas and arrays for the band of interest.
Finally, does anyone has received signal successfully up to 6GHz?
With the right bandpass filtering and amplification you can definitely receive up to 6 GHz. But it doesn’t work well for DFing.
