HackRF One vs. ANTSDR E200 at FRS Frequencies.

This video compares the reception of the HackRF One vs. AntSDR E200 at FRS Frequencies (~462 MHZ). They are connected to the same antenna by a splitter and both were set for maximum gain. SdrGlut recorded the I/Q data for playback and comparison. The reception was tested for various location. The ANTSDR E200 clobbered the HackRF One.

Good example of the improvement in signal to noise you get going from 8 bit to 12 bit analog to digital converters. I have a Red Pitaya clone that I have been using listening to HF frequencies. It has a 16 bit front end, very impressive.

Yes - that could be part of the difference - although, the difference at lower frequencies is not as great ?

We're also seeing/hearing the effects of your antenna radiation pattern as well.

[@daleranta1012]

Yes, That it true and it used to test reception under different conditions. Some of the receivers can pull the signal out of the noise better than others. Some times you can clearly hear a signal that shows on neither the spectrum or waterfall displays - that is really spooky.

FRS Family Radio Service is around 462 MHz, not 262

Yes, you are correct - I corrected it in the comments
