Automatic gain?

[FauxFaux]

I'm not super familiar with how the gnuradio settings map to hackrf settings, but... it seems like having "automatic gain enabled" wouldn't work out so well when you're trying to work out the absolute power level of a location?

I'd suggest trying this without automatic gain, and manually calibrating the gain.

I'd also suggest:

• looking at the baseband filter so you don't pick up any nearby frequencies (you're watching >10MHz of spectrum).
• downsampling in gnuradio before trying to transmit stuff.
• ..or just outright copying what hackrf_sweep does. 😄
