i finally figured out how to get it to work on the remote computer. all
is good. next is to install on the laptop. that should be a slam dunk.

Hello,
Should you tell us what was wrong?
Then we can learn too.
I also want to configure that on my IC-7700.
Thank you

Yes,
I've used the HackRF with Doppler for satellite RX, works well. As I've
mentioned elsewhere, my goal is a full SDR satellite system using one of
HackRF, bladeRF, Ettus B200/B210.
My satellite antennas will be up by the end of next week, a realistic goal
would be an AO-73 QSO before the end of 2014.
I'm not rushing things.

Thanks,
Not sure. I am just getting started, but yes the ultimate goal is to have a
VHF/UHF full duplex SDR transceiver with supported software for doppler
control, digital modes etc. While the hackrf is not full duplex, the B200
from Ettus is. Simon Brown (G4ELI/HB9DRV) is working on both and his
software has already full satellite support (see link below). It is little
steps at a time (absolutely NOT plug and play) and lots to look forward too,
plus I am learning so much about SDR radios and software tools :-)

Just FWIW,
The HackRF is half-Duplex, the bladeRF and Ettus B200 are full-Duplex. I am
interested in talking with anyone who is looking at the TX amplification
stages required to deliver ~25W or so to the antenna using one of these
devices. I haven't thought through the logistics required to switch antennas
/ pre-amps / PA stages etc., that'll come later.
I have a nice set of SSB Electronics pre-amps, decent antennas which will be
extended as necessary and a location with minimal obstructions unlike my
previous QTH in the Swiss mountains.
