Failed to enable antenna #13

Description

@frainz-de

I'm trying to use my Rad1o after shamefully not using it for quite some time. Shortly after camp2015, I soldered an SMA connector onto it like described in the wiki.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select HACKRF, HKRF-OLD or HKRF-APP app
  2. attach to PC
    3a. hackrf_transfer -r asdf -p1
    3b. osmocom_fft

Expected behaviour

a. File asdf contains recorded samples.
b. osmocom_fft shows noise

Actual behaviour

Operation fails with the output below.
