    Part of my job as a rf engineer is to find and mitigate noise on cellular systems. Take care, people are very agressive with things they dont understand. I have had guns pulled on me countless times for pointing an antenna around.

    And amazing how much is still possible aircrack-ng, Kismet, gps server and wirshark and you can still pixie dust many spots and even a gui thpe like wifite will still give you a list of pros who need security guidance. But the flipper is a learning and close contact tool that is a Swiss army knife of very useful tools and sensors and people ask the guy. He always produces a correct device to ulti.ately complete a project like the HAKrf Pro to pack is excellent and those amps and relays ++

    Interesting video, watching this kinda thing makes me want to do IT security again. I remember 10 or more years ago using parabolic dishes to pick-up wifi singals from 15kms the best was 25km away and considering these days how interconnected it is there are signals all over the place...Then again i have interacted with a few DOD RF engineers over the years that know ways of doing things and picking up signals that you realise no-one is safe. As the age old thing, there is no harm in testing and gaining knowledge its when you use that to do bad things that's when its wrong.

    isn't the grid dish you use contains an downconverter for MMDS applications ? and output an 2400- L.O. = much less signal (I may be wrong) if so how do you inject an RF signal into this receiving antenna ?

    There are different models of the grid antennas. The one I'm using has a passive feed of 2.4 GHz WiFi. There are others that operate at 1.4 GHz & 1.7 GHz for weather satellite reception. There is also the type you are talking about that is used for MMDS services which actively receives on 2.5 GHz and down converts to an L band output.

    At 24 minutes into this video you're describing an isotropic radiator which is a spherical radiator which has no gain. Your antenna with gain puts out a pattern that looks somewhat like a donut laying on its side a flattened donut that's elongated along the horizon. That's where your gain is coming from.
