In this way, can you transmit with SDR?
If you have the right hardware, yes you can, but not with the RTL-SDR. Some transmission capable SDRs include the HackRF, PlutoSDR, LimeSDR, LimeSDR Mini, and more.
Just so, what is HackRF one used for?
Designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation radio technologies, HackRF One is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation. HackRF One has an injection molded plastic enclosure and ships with a micro USB cable.
