    Hi Marta,

    currently Echoes supports only RTL-SDR dongles, so it's not surprising you could not make it work on Hack RF One.

    Besides this, if your intent is to HEAR the meteors radio echoes, Echoes is NOT what you're looking for, because it works on radio spectrum only, without perform a demodulation. The unique sound it produces is a notification sound that is a simple wav file, not the meteor's "voice".
    Echoes does its best in collecting data.

    There is work in progress to integrate the Soapy library (https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/wiki) that will allow someday to support several more SDR devices, including HackRF, and also the audio input device to connect analog radios.

    Under Linux, I know a pair of SDR receiver softwares that can work with HackRF, that are CubicSDR (based on Soapy too) and GQRX and my advice is to test one of these two, even if they are not specialized for meteor scatter but are general purpose, they can demodulate the meteor echoes in SSB allowing you to hear the meteor voices.

    On Facebook there are many groups following this argument. I follow mostly "Graves Italia Echoes" but there are many others where you can find help or ask questions about meteor scatter tecniques.

    Good Luck
    Giuseppe

      Hi Giuseppe !

      Many thanks for the clear and quick reply. Super kind :)
      I got a doubt about it , but maybe I will get also an RTL-SDR for my
      interest to get data anyway.
      i already tried to detect meteor echoes with Cubic SDR in USB mode and a 7
      elements yagi antenna plus LNA but with no good results.
      Maybe I made some mistakes and I try to understand what was not working in
      my set up. I contacted a radio amateur but from far away is always
      difficult to understand what is wrong in the setup for the detection.
      Thanks for the link and for the tips. I will investigate more also in FB on
      this group - Graves Italia Echoes - and see what i can learn more and
      finally understand how to make it work.

      Thanks and Best wishes to you!
      Marta
