Finally received days ago a Portapack<\/a> with a bundle of 5 antennas covering from 1Mhz to 6GHz. Portapack is just a standalone HackRF One with a touch screen. The band coverage makes the usage virtually limitless: interception, replay, broadcast from most frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There are hundreds of sites and video around to describe and help you to solve issues or show you demos. One of my favorite channel is Tech Mind<\/a> (twitter<\/a>) very useful and covers a wide range of SDR topics. RTL-SDR<\/a> is also full interesting articles and reviews about hardware, SDR and bunch of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to my Portapack one of the fun usage is ADS-B<\/a> to monitor airplanes around you. Basically you do locally what Flighaware or Flightradar24 does. You will get the position, altitude and other info. You can also plot the plane on a map. The default map has a very low resolution and is almost useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better mapping requires a larger map, keep in minds that the Portapack is standalone no internet connection to download map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To generate the map do as follow, assuming you run the latest Havoc <\/a>firmware<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that the sdcard you use on the Portapack is 32Go maximum formated in fat32. This due to the fat32 limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

git clone https:\/\/github.com\/furrtek\/portapack-havoc.git<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
( if you haven’t already done on your computer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy all content of \/PortaPack\/portapack-havoc-master\/sdcard to the root of the sdcard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To generate the high resolution (450 meg) map:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/portapack-havoc\/tree\/master\/firmware\/tools\npython adsb_map.py<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the you get the error “ImportError: No module named PIL”<\/em> install it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install python-pil then rerun python adsb_map.py<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
It will take about 5 minutes due to the size of the map about 444 Mo.
The file will be generated on your computer under portapack-havoc\/sdcard\/ADSB\/world_map.bin
Copy portapack-havoc\/sdcard\/ADSB\/world_map.bin to your sdcard\/ADSB\/world_map.bin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insert the sdcard in the portapack et voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to comment bellow if I missed anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: a big thanks to furrtek<\/a> for his amazing job on the Custom firmware for the HackRF One\/PortaPack. Sacr\u00e9 Fran\u00e7ais<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
