HackRF Whitehat Edition

The HackRF Whitehat Hardware Edition is a curated, ready-to-use SDR platform, prepared by Whitehat Hardware to get the most out of your HackRF from day one.

This edition combines the HackRF Clifford Heath Edition wideband SDR board manufactured by OpenSourceSDRLab with a precision Nooelec Tiny TCXO (10 MHz) for improved frequency stability, all housed in a Nooelec metal enclosure for durability and everyday use.

The result is a stable, enclosed, and immediately usable HackRF configuration designed to remove common friction points and let you focus on signals, not setup.

Core SDR specifications

• Wide frequency coverage from approximately 1 MHz to 6 GHz
• Half-duplex transmit and receive
• Up to ~20 MSPS sampling rate with 8-bit quadrature I/Q samples
• USB 2.0 interface for data and power
• Compatible with popular SDR software ecosystems

The Clifford Heath Edition hardware adds enhanced RF protection and updated switching and biasing components, making it a robust foundation for experimentation and testing.

Why this edition exists

Stock HackRF boards are powerful but intentionally minimal. This edition applies a thoughtful, field-ready configuration so you don’t have to source parts, select enclosures, or evaluate clock upgrades on your own.

• Nooelec Tiny TCXO (10 MHz) for improved frequency stability
• Durable Nooelec metal enclosure
• Assembled and tested prior to shipment
• No additional setup required

This is a clean, practical starting point for serious HackRF work.

What’s included

• OpenSourceSDRLabs HackRF Clifford Heath Edition board
• Nooelec Tiny TCXO (10 MHz)
• Nooelec metal enclosure
  

Who this is for

The HackRF Whitehat Hardware Edition is designed for RF engineers, researchers, educators, and serious experimenters who want a stable, enclosed HackRF configuration that delivers excellent results without extra friction.

No sourcing parts. No guesswork.

It’s ideal for spectrum analysis, protocol research, signal exploration, cognitive radio experiments, and learning across a wide swath of the radio spectrum.

Whitehat Hardware editions exist because defaults aren’t good enough.
