Now that I got the HackRF to work with SDR Sharp on my Windows desktop, I just need to find out how I can enable the HackRFs Bias-T so I can power the external LNA preamp. There doesn't seem to be a setting in SDR Sharp when HackRF is the source. I see an "Amp" checkbox in the HackRF controller in # but it doesn't control the Bias-T. If that's supposed to turn on an internal LNA preamp then it doesn't seem to be as good as my external one.

There has to be some way to enable it in Windows. Can anyone help me?

There is no option in SDR# to activate the HackRF/Portapack Bias-T.

And:
Be careful with the HackRF Bias-T: It is 3,3V and max. 50 mA without any protection against over-current.
