So, I’m probably going to make myself one of these and carry it to the beach at least when I take my toddler.
The 30m range to me indicates they might just be trying to blast noise on all 2.4 given the called out applications.
I could see this being useful to test the resiliency of RC control links. Some modern links operate below the noise floor, but can dynamically scale up power to 2w. They might be able to punch through just overpowering the jammer.
Could be useful to simulate a very high noise floor environment or flying around something that has a lot of spurious emissions.
Recently was flying a drone around an oil rig in Ohio. Now using a loRa based RC control link. This is the first time I didn't have any issues with dropped connection compared to previous control link systems.
I would love to test it out in the lab first to have higher confidence in the field.
I presume the "education" is the user learning how the legal system works, the laws that get applied when they are caught and the typical fines imposed.
Sure that could be part of it, learning the laws is certainly part of getting your ham ticket.
But let's step back from a less snoody POV, and view it from another angle.
In your own home, it's fully legal to experiment with RF if you have a ham ticket, provided you don't cause destructive interference to _others_.
Jamming yourself, is like hacking your own wifi, you are not technically interfering with communication. Under the rules that you are allowed to manufacturer your own RF equipment provided you don't cause destructive interference with authorized transmission.
Or just leave your phone in the car and pay with cash...
Okay, one extra setting and you're good. (Yes, that's not great, but if it works then it works)
May I assume you _always_ drive within the speed limit?
Context matters when we personally evaluate legality and use that as a moral justification to do or not do something.
Some dipshit blasting music in the mountains isn’t going to call the FCC on you.
I haven't researched into what effect it could have, but I'd definitely check first.
If it was safe...then it's definitely less likely to get you in trouble than stomping the 'dipshits' speaker into scrap!
What emergency services are you contacting with Bluetooth or wifi (or any 2.4ghz signal) when out on a hike?
