The PortaPack H4M Pro is a stand-alone, all-in-one portable SDR device based on the latest HackRF Pro framework. The pre-flashed MAYHEM firmware provides vital out-of-the-box functionality for pentesters: Receive / Transmit / Replay / Scan, with dozens of baked in high-level functions: Real-time Spectrum Monitoring, Key-Fob demodulation, ADS-B/AIS, Bluetooth, and much, much more.
This all-in-one device includes the HackRF Pro + PortaPack in a fully-assembled, rugged injection molded ABS case - no extra hardware, cables, modification or soldering required.
While the HackRF One redefined the pentest/hacker community as a completely affordable, hugely capable, open-source SDR device - it required an external computer, software and advanced knowledge to use. The H4M gives you the power of the HackRF - it's still usable directly - but also the flexibility of a compact, rugged device that requires no external devices.

H4M Pro Advantages
The PortaPack H4M Pro is a truly integrated, truly portable SDR laboratory. Based on the latest HackRF Pro architecture, the Portapack H4M Pro has multiple advantages over previous versions:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
1. Remastered Hardware
Increased operating frequency, memory, precision. Improved shielding, better RF performance, on-board FPGA.
2. Expanded Frequency
The H4M Pro now operates natively between 100kHz and 6GHz
3. Integrated TCXO
Use the internal TXCO, or external clocks via the dual clock SMA connectors for synchronising multiple devices.
4. Improved RF Shielding & Antenna Protection
Greatly increased RF Shielding for perfect reception; integrated antenna surge-protection
5. Replacable Battery (included)
The industry-standard 18650 battery can be swapped in seconds - meaning you'll ever run out of power.
6. Everything Onboard
Integrated touchscreen, speaker, microphone and tactile navigation wheel for fully untethered operations.
Functionality at a glance
Signal Capture
Easily perform raw signal capture - for instant replay, or for offline demodulation, analysis and modification.
Signal Replay
Oranised and Replay raw signals - directly after capture, or from the SD card or from otther sources.
Signal Detection
Detect and identify the frequency of nearby transmission sources. Useful for reconaissance and identifcation.
Frequency Scanner
Constantly scan a configurable range of frequencies to consecutively or in parallel.
In-built Apps
Dozens of inbuilt applications, such as real-time ADBS scanner, GPS-Simulator, TPMS decoders.. and more
Signal Generator
Generate customised signals - and even spectrum outputs - for device configuration & testing or even fuzzing.
Custom Apps
Open-source hardware and software and an active community - with support for custom applications.
HackRF Pro Mode
Naturally - you still have direct access to the HackRF - with full support for all common SDR tools - GNU Radio etc.

WARNING ⚠️ Understand your responsibilities
The PortaPack H4M is a wide-band radio device, with transceiver capabilities.
The EU Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) Annex I places custom-built evaluation kits outside its scope for professional use in research and development contexts.
Restrictions for transmitting and receiving vary. You are responsible for ensuring that your possession and use of these devices complies with the law in your jurisdiction.
Receiving: Several countries restrict monitoring outside broadcast and amateur allocations, and a few restrict what you may do with what you hear. Check the rules where you are before you tune.
Transmitting: Transmit only on bands you are licensed for, at or below the power your license and national regulations allow. Where you hold no license for a band, work with a dummy load, a shielded enclosure, or a cabled and attenuated link so that nothing reaches the air.
WARNING ⚠️ Before you tune or transmit
Never tune or transmit your device without an antenna or balanced dummy load. Doing so can permanently damage your device and void your warranty. Please refer to the below videos for further information on how to appropriately setup your device.
