Singapore FM Radio with HackRF One

Tech generalist based in Singapore with 10+ years in Industrial Automation, IIoT, OT Security, and Energy. I go deep on the things I’m curious about.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted due to different excuses. But no more, I hope to continue posting articles regularly in the spirit of learning about new technology. Today’s tech gadget is the HackRF One by GreatScottGadgets. The HackRF One is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware used to test and develop radio technologies.

To keep things simple, I followed the online tutorial by Michael Ossmann and ended up with a flowgraph capable of receiving FM radio signals. I proceeded to modify the flowgraph to make the HackRF pickup all FM radio stations in Singapore. From the screenshots below, I’m guessing you can tell which is my favourite radio station.

The HackRF One is a very interesting piece of hardware and the thing I like most about is the online community. I do foresee many more interesting projects to come. One which immediately comes to my mind is to use the HackRF One to learn more about digital broadcasting in Singapore. Happy Hacking!
