A few days ago bought a HackRF One, when tested with the Windows 8.1 SDRSHarp a Contrast in the center frequency of the screen signal is presented .
This carrier is always present , even if I move up or down the range remains ever present in the center frequency.

I need to know if it is a signal that is generating the HackRF One or SDR is an error.



Also strangely moving spam signals change places

In the RADIO drop down menu in the lower right corner is a check box for "Correct I/Q". Check it. It should reduce the spike. If not then stop and then start, the effect of checking the box may not be dynamic.

Same problem same fix. In SDR console it in one of the many menu configuration buttons.

When you checked the box in SDR# you are telling the program to correct the problem not setting something in HackRF. Change programs and you will have to repeat the selection.

Not really sure how the correction is done. My FunCubePro+ needs correction, but the Airspy does not. That is one of Airspy selling features that there is no I/Q imbalance or DC offset at the center of the screen. Seems they take care of it inside the hardware box so I don't have to check that box when using the Airspy.

thanks Mike, but the problem was reduced but did not eliminate my doubt.

Hoping that someone collaborate with us, I show the images of the problem.

SDR1-SDR2-SDR3
The named SDR images belong to SHARP and take it without antenna . as you can be seen there are just anomalous signals present in the middle of the band and the other ends

console1-2-3
These images take them with SDRConsole without antenna , as seen here s epuede continue to present more anomalous signals always in the middle of the band and ends . I need to discard that are signals generated by the own HACKRF

One hint that may help; anytime I see a strange signal at some point I will disconnect the antenna to eliminate the possibility that it is internally-generated.
