      It’s basically a pen testing multitool with focus on wireless media. I would highly recommend getting familiar with the local regulations (ie. FCC in the US) before obtaining and playing around with one.

      The FCC doesn’t care about political philosophy when it comes to interference regs - they are happy to throw the book at you and have decades of detection equipment development to find you, if you mess with or interfere with regulated bands. For example, guitar pedal company Electro-Harmonix for slapped with a $450k fine and consent decree in 2013 for unknowingly violating FCC Part 15 regulations. Behringer was hit with a $1M fine in 2006. They don’t fuck around.

      That said, I’d encourage you to learn more, maybe get involved with things line LoRa and Meshtastic. Great things for an anarchist to know about.
