Next task is to setup the second Ubuntu laptop in my workspace. It has a shielded RTLSDR attached, which will act as a software spectrum analyzer. The intent will be to capture the HackRF's output, and display it visually, to validate that the audio input matches RF output. I'm planning to use SDR# or another RF waterfall graphing tool, that can also save the graph to disk.
In addition to speaking into a microphone in real-time, I also want the user to be able to type a message, that is then transcribed into audio, using open-source text to speech software: eSpeak. So instead of speaking, you can type, and have a robotic voice speak it for you, into the rest of the software stack.
This software stack, would still require the six figure microwave amplifier, to actually achieve the end goal, of pulse modulating the microwave auditory effect. Today, this is milliWatt level output, and not kiloWatt level.
