PortaPack H4M + HackRF All-in-one
Introduction
The PortaPack H4M is a stand-alone, all-in-one portable SDR built on the HackRF platform. The pre-installed MAYHEM software provides ready-to-use workflows for band scanning, spectrum viewing, data logging, and on-device utilities—ideal for education, prototyping, and lab measurements.
This bundle combines HackRF + PortaPack in a fully assembled, rugged, injection-molded ABS enclosure—no extra hardware, cables, modifications, or soldering required.
Compared with setups that require a computer from the start, H4M adds a compact, touch interface that works independently for on-the-go learning and testing.
The H4M Advantages
The PortaPack H4M is the first truly integrated, all-in-one PortaPack.
Previous versions had usability, power and quality issues. The new H4M architecture has several new features and advantages. Likewise, it uses the latest revision of HackRF hardware and firmware, the Rev 10.
1. Matte Screen
The improved matte-finished, high-visibility screen is legible even in outdoor environments.
2. GPIO Ports
The GPIO port addition opens the door to add-on accessories, shields and sensors.
3. Redesigned Power System
A completely redesigned power system brings:
- Unified Power On/Off Switch
- New Advanced battery management architecture
- Fast Charging via USB-C
- Zero power-leaks or battery drain
4. Internal / External Mic + Speaker Toggle
Integrated sliding switch allows for rapid toggling between the internal and external microphone / headphones.
5. Redesigned navigation wheel
The redesigned low-profile nagivation wheel + directional buttons allows for faster navigation, without risk of damage to the device while not in use.
6. Integrated Microphone
The new on-board microphone allows the H4M to be used as a full voice transceiver device.
