We’re thrilled to announce HackRF Pro, the newest addition to the Great Scott Gadgets family of Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms!

Building on the legacy of HackRF One, HackRF Pro is an SDR peripheral that enables transmission or reception of radio signals from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. Like its predecessor, HackRF Pro is open source hardware and designed for versatility, whether you’re developing wireless tech, researching the security of wireless devices, tinkering as a hobbyist, learning or teaching about the RF spectrum, or building advanced custom firmware.

What Makes HackRF Pro Different?

HackRF Pro takes everything users love about HackRF One and improves upon it with many new enhancements. Here’s what you can expect:

• Wider frequency range (100 kHz – 6 GHz operating; tunable from 0 Hz to 7.1 GHz)

• Improved RF performance with flatter frequency response

• USB Type-C connector

• Built-in TCXO for superior timing stability

• Upgraded logic from CPLD to a power-efficient FPGA

• DC spike eliminated

• Extended precision mode with 16-bit samples for low sample rates (ENOB 9–11 typical)

• Half-precision mode with 4-bit samples at up to 40 Msps

• More RAM and flash memory for custom firmware

• Installed shielding for better RF isolation

• Trigger input/output via clock connectors

• Future-proofed PCB design with space for add-ons

• Improved power management

• Enhanced RF port protection

• Facility to hardware-disable transmit mode

And yes, it’s still:

• Compatible with GNU Radio, SDR#, and many other tools

• Fully open source

• Designed to work seamlessly with accessories like Opera Cake and most PortaPacks and third-party enclosures

Backward Compatible and Forward Thinking

HackRF Pro maintains backward compatibility with HackRF One—your existing software stack will work right out of the box. But we’re not stopping there. We’ll also be releasing a migration guide for developers who want to unlock HackRF Pro’s enhanced capabilities.

Preorder Now — Shipping This September

The HackRF Pro is now available for pre-order through our authorized resellers. Production begins in July 2025, with initial shipments slated for September 2025.

Please note: HackRF Pro comes in a sleek injection-molded plastic enclosure. USB cable and antenna are not included, but we recommend ANT500 as a great starter antenna.
