Just take some big wire cutters and snap them about in half. You’ll soon find that the stock enclosure has a two plastic tabs that hit the shield and prevent it from closing back up. When you’re done, snap the actual shield onto the bracket. OK it’s not the best soldering job I’ve ever seen, but whatever. Then work yourself around and dabble some solder on the teeth. I had my soldering iron at about 600F and just put a few dabs of solder on the corner and wiggled it around until I had it placed about right. Here’s the RF shield bracket in place, ready to solder Place the bracket on the line and start the soldering process. Note that the crossbraces of the shield bracket go up and the toothed edge of the bracket goes down (they fit onto the “dotted line”).

There’s a dotted line that shows where it goes. Now we have to solder the RF shield onto the board. Now, go in above one of the connectors with a little screwdriver (maybe put electrical tape over it) and start popping up the enclosure. To do this, first take the bolts and washers off of each of the SMA antenna connectors. The first challenge is opening the enclosure.

#Hackrf one blog install
I had purchased a RFI shield as part of the kit but had to install it myself. I’m new to all this, but one of the first things I noticed was that I was picking up a lot of radio frequency interference (RFI).
#Hackrf one blog software
I recently got a HackRF One software defined radio (SDR) to go along with my new Ham radio hobby.
